You can register now for the 5th annual Cream Puff 5K, which is likely the only race at which you also get a State Fair cream puff.
The run/walk benefits the Wisconsin State Fair Park Foundation and includes a ticket to the 2022 State Fair, an Original Cream Puff, a T-Shirt and more.
The run/walk through State Fair Park begins at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, July 20, with an after-party at 7. The 1K walk kicks off at 6:45.
This year there's also a virtual option that allows you to run or walk wherever and whenever you want. You'll get a voucher for a three-pack of Original Cream Puffs and your packet with voucher, ribbon, T-shirt and fair ticket will be mailed to you after the event.
If you register 13 or more adults with the same team/group name, all the team members get a discount and the printing of your company, family or other team name on the shirts.
All the details and sign-up options are online now at runsignup.com/Race/WI/Milwaukee/CreamPuff.
