Jefferson Park • Menasha, Wisconsin

| " |
This is a 'folksy' type of race
which has consistently attracted around 400-500 runners each year.
Families in particular seem to like this race. Runners and walkers
enjoy both the 2 mile and the 10k course and the pink flamingos
which greet the participants at the finish line. Legend has it that
Otto was the true inventor of the bicycle."
