Doug Opel's Run for the Kids

Get ready for a heartwarming Thanksgiving celebration at the 48th annual Doug Opel's Run for the Kids, happening on Thursday, November 28, 2024, in Sheboygan! This exciting event invites families and friends to come together and participate in a fun-filled race while supporting a great cause.
