Location
The Goose bumps Run/Walk at Goose Island County Park (W6488 County Road GI, Stoddard, WI 54658) is a fun, unique, and inspiring fundraiser hosted by the River City Running Club.
You can walk or run as little—or as much—as you like during the 6- or 24-hour time frame.
Whether you do one loop and relax, or push yourself to hit a half, full, or even ultra marathon distance, the goal is entirely up to you! Some determined participants have logged over 100 miles during the full 24 hours. That’s what makes this event so special—it’s all about your personal challenge.
About the Course
The course is a scenic, wooded 2.8-mile* cross-country loop along the backwaters of the mighty Mississippi River. (*Distance may vary slightly depending on weather.)
Family-Friendly
This is a family-friendly event with something for everyone: volleyball, bean bag toss, music, camping, and a post-race cookout with burgers on the grill. All participants are eligible for prize giveaways!
Aid Station
Designed for runners, walkers, volunteers. It’s packed with tons of food and race fuel for our participants. Lots to carb load with and quench your thirst. We will have pizza, subs, grilled cheese sandwiches, soup, mashed potatoes, chips, M&M’s, cookies, bars, fruit, and electrolytes. Even a chef prepared breakfast!
Post Race Gathering and Meal
is meant for all-participants of the races, and friends and family that come cheer you on. Last year someone asked if they could purchase a meal. We cannot legally sell food, if someone wants to make a donation, they most definitely can! We appreciate all donations!
We have Games
Bean bag toss, Yardzee, and volleyball, please let your friends and family know this is available to them. We truly hope that you bring your family along to help us make a day out of it.
Prize give-away for race participants

If you plan on leaving the loop for an extended period, YOU MUST let the lap counters know that you are leaving the loop to rest, also YOU MUST check back in with lap counters to let them know you are starting up again. This is for your safety AND so we can keep an accurate count on your laps.
