Come and join this year's 6th annual Tom Lottes 65 in 24 run & bike!

The Tom Lottes 65 in 24 Alzheimer’s Awareness Run & Bike is when a few crazy people get together to run or bike laps around the Wisconsin State Capitol until they reach 65 miles, hopefully in less than 24 hours. This distance usually ends up being roughly 122 laps, starting at 12 AM of June 21st and ending at 12 AM June 22nd. This provides more than enough time for any participant to complete the 65 miles, or any distance they feel comfortable with, in 24 hours. The general set up of the event is pretty loose in hopes of getting everyone active regardless of their fitness level. Participants are free to accomplish their chosen distance by either runwalking, biking, or a combination of the two. Any form of physical activity at any distance is good for the mind and body, so we hope to see you out on the Capitol square this June 21st!

The first 5 years of The Tom Lottes 65 in 24 had always taken place on December 30th and always involved just running and walking. The event moved to June 21st because it is the longest day of the year which seems to match perfectly with a 24-hour run & bike event and will hopefully provide better weather for those who choose to bike. It was also changed to June 21st due to the event organizer being sick of the cold.
