Run Tosa Run is a 5K run/walk and untimed half-mile kids' run through the beautiful tree-lined streets of the Tosa East Towne neighborhood, benefiting Ronald McDonald House Charities Eastern Wisconsin. It is chip-timed through Webscorer.

Participants in Run Tosa Run 2024 helped us raise $6,500 to donate to Ronald McDonald House Charities Eastern Wisconsin, continuing a longstanding partnership with this worthwhile local organization.

The 2025 race took place May 17. Donation amount will be announced after the June board meeting.

ABOUT THE CAUSE: Ronald McDonald House Charities of Eastern Wisconsin will benefit from the proceeds raised by the event. The well-known charity is located on Watertown Plank Road in Wauwatosa, near Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. The Ronald McDonald House mission is to provide a “home away from home” for families while their children are receiving medical treatment at local hospitals at little or no cost. The House is more than just a place to stay – offering families therapeutic programming including art, animal and music therapy, a comprehensive meal program, comfortable community spaces and so much more.

SOME RULES: Strollers are welcome, starting at the back of the pack. Not welcome are animals, roller skates, roller blades, skateboards or bikes. The race will be canceled only by extreme weather, in which case race fees will be used as donations to Ronald McDonald House Charities.
