4/16/22 Paint The Town Red 5K Coming In May
16 April 2022 News
GREEN LAKE, WI — More than 100 walkers are expected to join together on Mill
Pond Terrace on Saturday, May 28 to raise funds that support free children’s programs at Town
Square Community Center in Green Lake.
Presented by Platinum Sponsor Aither State Farm Agency, the second annual Paint the Town
Red 5K is a rain or shine family-friendly, all ages and abilities walk that inspires camaraderie
and family togetherness.
“Supporting families is a cornerstone of Town Square’s mission,” said Fran Hill, executive
director at Town Square. “Pledges secured for Paint the Town Red will help make it possible for
us to offer robust programming for kids and families and, much of it, for free.”
Participants are encouraged to dress in their wackiest walking attire for a chance to win the
coveted Best Dressed trophy. Dogs are invited to participate and dress up too for their own shot
at a trophy in the canine category.
Groups and individuals are asked to secure pledges that will benefit Town Square’s children’s
events. The team and individual who secures the most pledges will win a spectacular (and
perhaps a little silly) trophy.
Paint the Town Red’s 5K route was developed in partnership with the Dartford Historical Society
and includes stops at significant historical spots in honor of Green Lake’s 175th anniversary and
Town Square’s 10th, both in 2022.
Race day registration begins at 8 a.m. and the walk commences at 9 a.m. Carol Skivington of
Free Spirit Yoga will lead a pre-walk yoga warm-up. Participants will return to Mill Pond Terrace
at 10:30 a.m. for the awards ceremony. Dog-friendly Town Square Tap will be open after the
walk for participants to enjoy music and beverages. Live music will be provided by local favorite
Peter Brush.
Entry fees are $25 for adults, $15 for children ages 6-17 and free for children under age 6.
Virtual participation fee is $15. To register and create a personalized fundraising page, visit

Sponsorship opportunities are still available. All sponsors will receive signage recognition and
be highlighted on the event website and in promotions. Contact Fran Hill at
fhill@greenlaketownsquare.org for more information.
