The Mini Donut Half Marathon was originally created in honor of Mike “Oly” Olson, who lost his life to suicide at the age of 59. For years, Oly owned and operated Oly’s Mini Donut Express, a mini donut trailer you could find at local fairs and festivals. Oly was seen most happy while running the Mini Donut Express, and he loved to make people laugh.
The Mini Donut Half Marathon is a timed race that follows 13.1 miles of the area’s most beautiful and scenic views. The race begins in Onalaska, WI and follows the Great River State Trail to the Historic Trempealeau Hotel in Trempealeau, WI. There is also a 5K Honor Walk/Run to honor and show appreciation for our loved ones, both living and passed, who have struggled with thoughts of suicide.
This is a timed event. ALL finishers wearing a race bib will receive a medal, awesome race swag, and donuts at the finish line. There are additional prizes & trophies for individual age division winners.
We want to celebrate the life and influence that one person can have on an entire community, and we also want to offer hope and help to families and individuals who have been affected by suicide.

This race is put on to bring awareness to suicide and all of those lost by it. Course is along a ‘rails-to-trails’ right beside the mighty Mississippi River. Also, who doesn’t enjoy mini donut after a great run.
