The 2 & 5 mile races are chip time on a classic Driftless area course. Located in the scenic rolling hills of western Wisconsin sits Apple Country – Gays Mills. Every year this small town hosts an epic event, Apple Fest, which includes a 1/4 mile kids run, a 2-mile Run/walk, and a 5-mile run along a beautiful wooded backroad heading out of town.
The Apple Fest Run/Walk course is an impressive challenge of hills with a few level areas to give you a break! With the Kickapoo on one side of you and fall colors all around, there is no end to the view as you run. You start and finish by the Dam in Gays Mills and as you are heading back to the finish line you can hear the crowd's cheers before you can even see them. It will give you just the rush and motivation you need to finish your race strong.

Prepare for an unforgettable cycling adventure in the heart of the Midwest. Whether you're a seasoned gravel racer or a casual rider seeking scenic thrills, our event promises an exhilarating experience for all.
The Old Fashioned Gravel ride/race is back for 2026! We are fortunate enough to have some of the best gravel riding in the Midwest and have put together four routes to show off the local terrain. As with all of our rides, we offer a little bit of everything and welcome EVERYONE from novice riders to the most seasoned racers. The focus of the ride is to bring like-minded individuals together for a great ride, but we will have professional timing so if you want to race we will have you covered too! Routes that will satisfy all of your gravely desires, and a post-ride gathering with food, drink, and hangs with new friends. Awards and prizes (everything from ridiculous to awesome) to follow the ride!
We will once again be at a venue in Hokah Minnesota, a rustic farm nestled in a scenic coulee. While the ride is about riding with other rad people like yourself, rest assured a portion of your entry fee will go to a local entity that could use a little financial help. If we can have a super fun time while helping others, that is what will make this a successful event. Hokah is a super cool little town, and we would love to help keep our money local.
All routes will leave and finish at the farm. The gravel is approximately two miles from the start line, and one mile of that is a paved climb, once you are on the ridge, the dust shall start flying! All routes will descend this paved section upon return to the finish line.
This is a family-oriented event for all ages and the course is mostly flat with one small incline near the finish line. There is a 5K course for runners/walkers and a 1 Mile course for both runners and walkers. Each race starts and ends at St. Patrick School and each event will be timed. Trophies will be awarded to the first-place finishers for the male and female runners in each race. Medals will be awarded to first-, second-, and third-place finishers in each age category for both male and female participants. The event is set to begin at 8 am on October 4, 2025. All funds raised will go towards the building fund for St. Patrick Grade School.

Jack's Jog is inspired by a sweet baby boy named Jack and his mom's desire to keep his memory alive. On January 27th, 2020, a routine 20 week ultrasound turned the world upside down for Jack's parents, Brad and Jamie. Expectations that their third baby was perfect and healthy turned into devastation and fear. Their baby was not perfect and healthy. There were several significant findings on the ultrasound indicating that their baby had a life-threatening condition and would need further evaluation.
Four days later, Brad and Jamie spent an entire day at a higher level of care where they met with several specialists, had more in-depth ultrasounds and lab work that would diagnose their baby's condition. Results of the tests would take several days but Brad and Jamie were warned that whatever the result was, it was fatal. Their baby would not survive.
Three days later, Brad and Jamie received a phone call with their baby's diagnosis-triploidy. He had an entire extra set of chromosomes. This was not compatible with life. As most babies with triploidy are miscarried in the first few weeks of pregnancy, doctors had no idea how long Brad and Jamie's baby would survive. There was no way to predict whether he would make it to full term, if he would be born alive, and if so, how long he would live after birth.
On May 11, 2020, at a routine appointment, they heard the words they feared but expected: "there's no heartbeat." Jack was 36 weeks along. Jack was born still on May 12, 2020 at 6:46pm. Jack's parents and two older brothers spent as much time as they could with him and created many memories that they will cherish forever. Since Jack was born, it's been Jamie's mission to ensure that the world knows about her sweet baby boy that never got to come home. His little life matters and even though he is not here, he still has a purpose in this world.
October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month. Jack's Jog is a 5k run/walk that will take place at Myrick Park with the intent of honoring and remembering all the babies who were taken from their families too soon. It will be a place for parents, families and friends to find support and a safe place to talk about their babies and share their stories. Jamie wants people to feel comfortable to say their baby's name and know they are not alone in their grief. All of the funds raised at this event will be donated to local hospitals for their pregnancy and infant loss bereavement programs to continue to support families navigating the journey of losing their baby.
