Run Wild 5K, 10K and Smokey Bear Kids Fun Run

Embrace the crisp autumn air and join us for a running adventure at the Run Wild event in Potawatomi State Park's stunning wilderness! It's our 35th-anniversary celebration, and we're pulling out all the stops. Are you ready to conquer Tower Hill? Choose between the exhilarating quarter marathon or a scenic 5K on park roads free from traffic, all for a great cause – supporting park projects!

Can't be there in person? No sweat! Sign up for our virtual run and still snag that swanky long sleeve T-shirt and drawstring bag. Remember, the early bird not only gets the worm but also a guaranteed T-shirt – register by September 18th! Awards await at the finish line, but you've got to be there to claim your glory. So lace up, and let's hit the trail running on October 7th, with an adorable Smokey Bear run for the little ones to follow. Go wild with us – because it's more than just a run, it's an autumn tradition!
