Tusenbeiner 2k/5k Walk/Run 2026

Announcing the Fourth Running of the Tusenbeiner!
Join us on Saturday, July 18, for the fourth annual Tusenbeiner, a 2K and/or 5K fun run and walk. "Tusenbeiner" means "thousand legs." Last year, we had 80 participants, and this year we're hoping to reach at least 120!
The event begins at 8:30 a.m. in the Mayo parking lot, located just west of and across the street from the Waldemar Ager Museum. Registration is available online at https://agerhouse.org/tusenbeiner - Be sure to register by July 13 to guarantee your Tusenbeiner T-shirt.
This event reflects the mission of the Waldemar Ager Association, including the concepts of livreise—the effort to understand one's own journey, culture, and ancestral heritage—and friluftsliv, the Nordic tradition of embracing outdoor life and activity. A run, walk, or even a bike ride along Eau Claire's city trails is a wonderful way to enjoy the outdoors and celebrate these traditions.
Now is a great time to get your beiner moving, whether or not you plan to ski in the American Birkebeiner ("birch legs") next winter!
Best of all, the event concludes with a light Scandinavian brunch and an opportunity to meet new friends.
The Tusenbeiner is sponsored by the Waldemar Ager Association and Museum and its supporters. Proceeds remaining after expenses will benefit the Ager capital campaign. The Association envisions creating a center for Nordic culture on the land just east of the museum, facing Whipple and West Madison Streets.
More information about this exciting project, along with preliminary drawings, will be announced soon.
