Burgers and Buns fun run

May Beef Month is just around the corner, and we are ready to run with celebrations! The Wisconsin Beef Council is proud to partner with the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation and the Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center to host both virtual and in-person options for the annual Burgers & Buns Fun Run/Walk! Join us to show your support of our Wisconsin beef community and May Beef Month. Proceeds from the event will be donated to Feeding Wisconsin to provide beef for families in need. 

Everyone can attend! Register by May 1 to guarantee your beefy race T-shirt. Virtual participants will have their race kits shipped directly to their homes. Those who are coming to party in person can pick up their race materials Saturday, May 20 at the Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center in Manitowoc, Wis. 

ALL participants can enter to win a free beef gift certificate by posting a picture of your race experience and tagging Wisconsin Beef Council, Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation, and the Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center on Facebook and Instagram!

Burgers and Buns Fun Run Virtual Race 

Can’t make it to the Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center on May 20? That’s ok! You can take part in our virtual race as soon as you get your shirt! The Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center will still offer a coupon for free admission through the end of summer. A virtual run is a ‘race’ that you can do anywhere and any way you want during a set time period. The beauty of a virtual race is that you can run, walk, or skip your 5k whenever is convenient.
