Organizer's Description

Join us for the first annual Hodag Hustle in memory of our wonderful Husband, Dad, Grandpa and Brother, Bill Carlson. Bill was an avid runner and strived to remain healthy throughout his whole life. We want to continue his legacy while also remembering his hometown of Rhinelander, WI, where he still remains in the Hodag Hall of Fame for his uber fast time in the half mile. The '595' number the pictured Hodag is wearing was Bill's bib number when he completed the Boston Marathon in 1977.

This event will consist of both a 5k run and 1mile walk - where both the start and finish will be located at the Phoebe Bakken Memorial Park in Cottage Grove, WI. Start time for both the run and walk is 8am.

All proceeds will be donated to The Goodman Center, a cause that meant so much to Bill and where he also volunteered so much of his time. 

$60 to sign up - this includes a shirt, timing chip, medal and complementary food and drinks after the race!

Hope you can join - the motto of The Hodag Hustle is 'Treat Others How You Want To Be Treated' - a message so near and dear to our wonderful Bill!
