Race Information

Run or walk your way to a Cream Puff! This is a run/walk 5k event featuring the Milwaukee Mile Speedway and State Fair Grounds. Not feeling the entire run? You can walk your way directly to your cream puff with the 1.5k option. This is also a kid-friendly and stroller-friendly event.

Finishers get a Finisher's Ribbon, Cream Puff, a cold beer (for participants 21+), and get to join the post-race concert. 

The Cream Puff 5K benefits the Wisconsin State Fair Park Foundation, an independent 501 (c) (3) non-profit dedicated to helping the Fair to grow.
