The Hairpin 5K Run/Walk is the longest running 5K event in Door County and has become a great July 4 tradition for runners and walkers of all ages.

Restrooms & Parking

We will provide porta-potties at Clark Park but here is a map of other public restrooms around Fish Creek so you can plan to use other facilities as well. You can park wherever you like but we wanted to let you know about a large new parking area located a couple of blocks from Noble Park at 4081 Main Street, Fish Creek.

Timing
