Channel Your Flannel at the Lumberjack 5K Run/Walk
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Nancy Knutson 715-634-5025 [email protected] Channel Your Flannel at the Lumberjack 5K Run/Walk Be a Part of Hayward’s Legendary Summer Celebration! Yo-Ho! All year through, the American Birkebeiner Ski Foundation (Birkie) celebrates a healthy, active lifestyle by providing adventurous spirits with opportunities and events to ski, run, and bike on the legendary Birkie Trail. However, once a year, the Birkie strays from the Trail in honor of one of Hayward’s greatest and longest standing summer events, the Lumberjack World Championships held each year in historic Lumberjack Bowl – August 1-3, 2019. With a nod toward the region’s deep-seated timber roots, runners and walkers will channel their flannel at the Birkie’s Lumberjack 5K Run/Walk on August 3, 2019. The 5K (3.1 mile) Lumberjack Run/Walk starts and finishes on the shores of Lake Hayward at Lumberjack Bowl, home of the Lumberjack World Championships, located at 15670 West County Road B, Hayward, WI, 54843. The American Birkebeiner Foundation has once again joined forces with the Lumberjack World Championships for this annual event. The Lumberjack Run marks the blending of two iconic community events – the Birkie ® ski race and the Lumberjack World Championships® – both events were the brainchild of the late Hayward native and event founder, Tony Wise. The Birkie has since grown to become North America’s largest cross- country ski race and the Lumberjack World Championships the most prestigious lumberjack competition drawing competitors from around the globe. Lumberjack 5K Run/Walk registration for ages 19 and over is $30 before July 30 and $35 after July 31, 2019. -
