Sputnikfest 5K Art Run/Walk Race Description

 

What better way to see the public art murals in downtown Manitowoc than walk, run, jog or stroll during our annual Sputnikfest celebration! This out-and-back 5K (3.1 mile) event begins and ends at the crash site of Sputnik IV, near the Rahr-West Art Museum and winds along the waterfront past many examples of fantastic public art.

This is an all-ages, family-friendly, non-timed event! All participants will receive a custom-made Sputnikfest finishers medal, an exclusive race t-shirt, and a race bib. Dress up in "galaxy garb" to support the Sputnikfest vibe (see attached video) and you'll receive a free drink ticket to use after the event. 

Packet pick-up will be available at the Rahr-West Art Museum on Friday, September 9 from 4:30-6:00pm and also on race day from 10:00-11:45am.
