Enjoy Activities For The Whole Family
The Alpenfest Run is part of a climax to a
week long celebration of our 44th annual Alpenfest
which focuses on the Swiss theme of Gaylord “The Alpine Village”.
Before and after the race there are many activities for the whole
family including the 2 hour Grand Parade at 12 Noon. The center of all the major
activity is the Alpenstrasse on which there
will be artists and craftsmen exhibits and loads of fun-filled events
to entertain your family. A new addition to our Alpine Run is a 1 Mile
Fun Run which takes runners along the parade route prior to the parade.
One Mile Fun Run
Run through the crowds on the parade route! This race is not a timed
race. The Fun Run is on a closed route which starts on Illinois Street,
2 blocks south of Main
Street. Runners go north to Main Street,
turn east, then turn south onto Old 27 to the finish line at Johnson’s
Propane. Cost for the Fun Run is $7.00 and includes a commemorative tee
shirt. The Community Center is accepting Early Registration for the
event any time. You may also register Friday evening (late
