Run From The Tax Man

Looking for an all night running party?

Join us for the Prickly Pine 24-Hour Solo/Relay race in the beautiful Kettle Moraine State Forest! With a variety of time options—6-hour, 12-hour, 24-hour, and a 4-person 24-hour relay—you can choose the challenge that suits you. Not a fan of repeating the same loop? We’ve got you covered with three unique loops: Loop #1 (3 miles), Loop #2 (6 miles), and Loop #3 (9 miles). You decide which loop to tackle each time, and every completed loop counts toward your total mileage!

Jackpot Prizes for the top 5 finishers in the solo event and top team in the relay.

For each 24-hour solo participant and relay team, 25% from your registration fee will be added to the solo and relay Jackpot, respectively.

Solo competitors – 1st place is awarded based on the total miles of completed loops. If you don't finish the loop you're on when time runs out, that loop won't count toward your total. In the event of a tie, the prize money for the tied positions will be combined and evenly split. For example, if two runners tie for first place, the 1st and 2nd place prize amounts are combined and shared. If there’s a 3-way tie, the prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd will be pooled and divided equally.

1st Place = 50% of the Jackpot

2nd Place = 30% of the Jackpot

3rd Place = 10% of the Jackpot

4th Place = 5% of the Jackpot

5th Place = 5% of the Jackpot

Relay Jackpot

The winning team will take home the entire Jackpot! In the event of a tie, each team will select one runner to compete in a final, winner-takes-all lap on the 3-mile loop.

Run with purpose. Run where it matters.🏁

The AB Korkor Foundation is officially retiring the Five Fifty Fifty Run/Walk for Mental Health, a bold and inspiring initiative that began as 50 run/walks in 50 days across all 50 states. During the first two years of the event, the Foundation’s founder, Adel B. Korkor, personally ran in every one of the 50 events over 50 consecutive days, embodying the dedication, resilience, and urgency behind the Foundation’s mental health mission.

As the Five Fifty Fifty chapter comes to a close, the Foundation is excited to introduce its next evolution: the Steps For Strong Minds 5K Run/Walk, a family-focused mental health event designed to be more accessible, community-centered, and welcoming to participants of all ages and abilities—continuing the movement forward, one step at a time.

The Strong Minds Sprint is an exciting new 40-yard dash designed especially for kids ages 10 and under. This high-energy event encourages children to stay active while reinforcing the important connection between physical movement and mental well-being. Through fun, friendly competition, young participants build confidence, resilience, and healthy habits that support strong minds and strong bodies. We are thrilled to introduce this new addition and can’t wait to see our youngest runners take off toward a brighter, healthier future.

Join our movement and make mental health a priority in YOUR community! We encourage families to run/walk together and to make that easy, kids 13 and under participate for free. Please note that all participants must register, regardless of age, and youth must be accompanied by an adult.

Proceeds from this event directly support programs that promote mental health awareness and encourage physical activity for kids in your community, helping them build resilience, confidence, and healthy habits that last a lifetime.
