About This Event
Join us for the best party race of the season! This five-mile event, held at the luxurious, four-diamond Grand Geneva Resort & Spa, is the perfect weekend getaway for you and your running pals! The competition is stiff, the awards numerous,the beer flows freely and the beach clothing theme party rocks!

Race History
It all started on a balmy winter day in 1980 at the Playboy Club in beautiful Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Over 1,000 runners showed up for our first-time event. The late John Jantz fired the starter’s pistol, and Playboy bunnies, in uniform, gave out the trophies! Join us for the 29th running of the best party race in the Midwest!

Directions
The race begins and ends at the Grand Geneva Resort & Spa, just east of the intersection of hwys. 50 & 12 on the east side of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. After the long driveway, you will see the Forum building and parking lot. There is additional parking beyond the main entrance. Registration and post-race party at the Forum.
