Back For 2026 - Road Bike Category – You can choose to race either TT Bike or Road Bike for all of the categories.Road Bike Definition - A road bike can possess drop or straight handlebars; no tri-bars, clip-on bars or Spinaci bars are allowed; no disc wheels; both front & rear wheels must have at least 12 spokes each; the maximum rim depth allowed is 90mm. Note: the spirit of this new Road Bike category is to encourage more participation in MATTS events by creating a more even playing field for racers who don’t have a TT bike. In general, if your bike would be eligible for a road race or a criterium, it would qualify for the Road Bike category. No “TT” Helmets.

Skelly's Donut Dash for
the Humane Society of Southern Wisconsin
Saturday, August 1st at 8am
Do you like running? Do you like running so you can eat donuts at the finish line? What about running with your dog, then eating donuts, AND supporting a great local organization?
For the second year, we are partnering with the Humane Society of Southern Wisconsin to bring a 5k and 1 mile run/walk to the farm on Saturday, August 1st. Race time is at 8am (registration opens at 7am). Run or walk our 5k route through the sunflower field, on nearby roads, and around our strawberry beds. The 1-mile route goes around our fields and through our first 2 loops of our sunflower field. Don't forget to bring your dog with!
This race will be unlike anything you've done before, because you get to run through our 6-acre sunflower field! This field has over 30 different varieties of sunflowers in it!
All race participants will receive a bib number with time tracking (brought to you by Velocity Multi-Sport & Cycling), admission to our sunflower field, and an apple cider donuts at the finish line.
Skelly's will be donating a large portion of each ticket to the Humane Society PLUS any extra field admissions that day we will also be donating $1 per ticket! If you don't want to race, come visit the field and support the Humane Society that way!
