Written by Ballzer on March 11, 2025
Join us for the 20th annual St. Paddy’s Day .01K on Saturday, March 15th in Downtown La Crosse for The World’s Shortest Run/Walk to benefit The Hunger Task Force of La Crosse!
Shelly Fortner, Executive Director, joined the Morning Buzz to talk about how important this event is to their work and what their biggest needs are right now:
The Hunger Task Force’s typical top 5 needs are peanut butter, cereal, soup, pasta and pasta sauce. You can donate items or make a monetary donation online HERE to support our community!
We also spoke with 95.7 The Rock’s Jean Taylor about the event:
It’s a Point ZERO One K! A whopping 32.8 feet! We’ll shut down Pearl Street, in front of Brothers Bar, for just long enough to run, walk, crawl, and to help Eliminate Hunger in the Coulee Region. And this year, you can kiss the Blarney Stone. Don’t miss out! Pre-Register NOW to secure your desired shirts size! Registration includes a .01K shirt and a free green tap beer. Check in and on site registration starts at 3:00PM, and the “race” is at 6:00 PM.
