Description

What better way to see the public art murals in downtown Manitowoc than walk, run, jog or stroll during our annual Sputnikfest celebration!

This out-and-back 5K (3.1 mile) event begins and ends at the crash site of Sputnik IV, near the Rahr-West Art Museum and winds along the waterfront past many examples of fantastic public art.

This is an all-ages, family-friendly, non-timed event!

All participants will receive a custom-made Sputnikfest finishers medal, an exclusive race t-shirt, a race bib and you'll receive a free drink ticket to use after the event.

Dress up in "galaxy garb" to support the Sputnikfest vibe.

On September 5, 1962, a 20 lbs. piece of Russian Sputnik IV landed in the middle of the street on the corner of N. 8th and Park in front of the Rahr West Museum.

Sputnikfest was establish as a way of bringing the community together to celebrate this momentous event.

The Sputnikfest 5K Walk/Run is sponsored by Fricke Printing Services Inc
