Run Wild 2009
The 2009 Run Wild event was a tremendous success! There were a record number of participants. 478 to be exact! We sincerely thank our loyal run sponsors, race volunteers, current and past celebrity runners, park staff, DNR, Southern Door Fire Fighters 1st Responders, runners, walkers, kids, door prize donors and everyone else who has contributed in any way towards making this event a great success. Even the rain held off until all of the runs were completed! We want to see YOU here at Potawatomi State Park on October 2, 2010. The registration form will be available by early May. All proceeds from Run Wild are used for park improvements, labor-saving equipment and naturalist programs. We are a 501c3 non-profit corporation.

Meet Paul Bremel! He has a wealth of experience both as an athlete and later as a coach. He became interested in track and field when he was in seventh grade and was a track athlete throughout his high school years, then ran for UW-LaCrosse. Mr. Bremel started coaching in 1990 and is currently the head coach for Track and Field and for Cross-Country at Gibraltar High School. He is ASEP and USATF Level 1 certified for both sports. He has coached over 100 athletes at various state meets including a few state champions.
What sets Paul apart from ordinary coaches are his philosophy and his emphasis on personal improvement for the students he coaches. Winning is nice, but it isn't his primary focus. He wants his athletes to learn to set goals for themselves then work hard to achieve them, not just in athletics, but in academics, and life. "Running is many things, an escape, a fitness tool, a challenge... I hope that all of my athletes will continue to run and race either recreationally or competitively after leaving my program."
One of Run Wild's strong supporters and a previous celebrity runner is Roy Pirrung. His schedule for 2010 will be posted when received.
