Leave it to Town Square to put the FUN in the RUN. Join our Paint the Town Red Fun Run/Walk 5k with family and friends (and pets), and tour through our charming community while helping to support your community center. It’s a healthy, exhilarating and FUN way to enjoy one of the most lovely towns ever invented while doing something good at the same time.

What’s so FUN about this RUN?

  • The Bug Radio will be broadcasting LIVE from Mill Pond Terrace during the event. (yes, you might even get interviewed). 

  • The 5K route includes Green Lake’s most popular sights and plenty of surprises along the way. (Hint: be extra careful when passing the cemetery). 

  • Pets, strollers, wagons (and pretty much anyone) is welcome to join. 

  • The first 100 sign ups will receive a Red Visor and the team and the individual who brings in the most pledges will win a spectacular (and perhaps a little silly) TROPHY. 

  • Everyone--especially teams--is encouraged to wear the wackiest outfit they can find. Yes, there’s a TROPHY for that, too.

  • Since this supports your community center, Everybody Wins! (except that some people will actually win)


Here’s how it works:

  • Sign up as a team or as Yourself, and print out a pledge sheet. 

  • Get folks to pledge a donation for you to walk or run. Any amount makes a difference in our community.

  • Show up on Mill Pond Terrace at 8:00 am, turn in your pledge sheet and donations, and get your visor.

  • At 8:30, get out there. The route will be well marked, and include water stops and activities along the way.

  • At 10:00, be there for the SPECTACULAR AWARDS CEREMONY on Mill Pond Terrace.

  • The first 100 people to sign up will receive a red visor …so don’t wait!


Paint the Town Red is sponsored by ThedaCare and Town Square’s many other kind community event sponsors.
