    About the Wisconsin State Fair Park Foundation

    The Cream Puff 5K benefits the Wisconsin State Fair Park Foundation, an independent 501c3 non-profit that is dedicated to helping the Fair to grow. We fund capital improvement projects and education and art programs around the park.  Thanks to donors like you, we are able to fund: 

    Central Park  -  In 2023, Central Park got a "makeover" with a new fountain and seating area. The fountain, named "1851 Steel and Stone," pays tribute to the history of the Fair, and a historical marker commemorates a visit by President Abraham Lincoln. 

    Ag Education – The Foundation funds “Ag Discovery Day” at the fair park every spring. The day is designed to give students a better understanding of the agriculture industry in the state.

    Art Programs - The Foundation supports visual arts programs including Plein Air at the Fair for Wisconsin artists and performing arts groups such as the Kids from Wisconsin. 

    Thank you for supporting the Foundation! Learn more at www.wsfpfoundation.org.

For the love of all that is good and moisture wicking...

Though we try to be accurate and on top of things... Race details can change when we aren't lookin. And once in a while we simply make a mistake.
