Join the Fun at Gilda’s Run/Walk 2026! Looking for a feel-good, family-friendly event that makes a real difference? Lace up and join us Sunday, October 4, 2026, in Middleton for Gilda’s Run/Walk – or participate virtually from anywhere! Choose how you’d like to participate: a 5K run (self-timed) or a 2-mile walk, then celebrate at the finish line with a picnic, music, and community fun. We’ll be grilling up Ruth’s Chris burgers (veggie burger option available) and dishing out Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream for each registrant. Join the fun with strolling magic from James the Magician, mascot appearances from: Mallards, Night Mares, and more! This event is more than a run or walk. It’s about coming together to raise hope and support local families impacted by cancer. Every dollar raised stays right here in our community, helping Gilda’s Club Wisconsin provide free emotional support, education, and resources – all at no cost to members. And don’t forget: top fundraisers will earn great prizes. So rally your friends, family, or coworkers and make every step count! Note: Don’t miss out!
