Want a big-race feel without the big-race miles? Sign up for the Nicolet Bay 5K.

There are fewer than 200 spots left in the shorter race that’s part of the Door County Half Marathon, set for Saturday, May 6, in Peninsula State Park. Get all the perks of the half marathon, but without the hills: a great race shirt, a big finish line, great course support on the closed roads of the park and a free beer from One Barrel Brewing Company to celebrate at the finish. 

Take advantage of the late-morning (10:15 am) start time and free shuttles to and from the park from park-and-ride locations at Gibraltar School and Skyway Drive-in. Online registration is still open for you to join the nearly 2,000 people who have already registered to be part of half-marathon weekend. Sign up to run or walk the course at doorcountyhalfmarathon.com.
