Run, Eat, and Embrace the last of the Winter Chill

Alright, friends, it’s time to break out your best long johns and get ready for a spring celebration like no other. Our inaugural Long John Days, which aims to honor a great neighbor and one of Flandreau's most notable longtime destinations is on the calendar! Whether you come to run, eat, compete, or just soak up the fun, there will be plenty happening to keep you moving and laughing all morning long.

Full details for registration and timeline to follow! In the meantime, a brief glance at what we and the Flandreau Bakery crew are planning for you!

The Main Event: Fun Run & Walk
Sign up for the 1-mile walk, 5K, or 10K fun run and prove that a little cold won’t slow you down.

Long John Fashion Show
This isn’t your average runway show. We’re inviting everyone to strut their stuff in their coziest, wackiest, or most creative long johns. Awards will go to the best-dressed in a few fun categories, including Best Group Theme, so grab your friends and start planning your looks now.

Games & Challenges
Think you’ve got what it takes to be a Long John Days champion? See how many long johns you can eat in a set time, or test your aim with the long john toss. For the little ones (or the young at heart), we’ll have a coloring contest ready to go.

Long John Eating Competition
This will be a timed and judged competition with an entry fee. If you would like to be a contestant, spots are limited. Call (608) 692-0651 or email siouxriverspirits@gmail.com and put CONTESTANT in the subject line by Thursday to ensure your're in!

Warm-Up & Chill-Out Zone
After all that action, warm up by the fire with music and great company. It’s the perfect way to wrap up a morning of late winter/early spring fun.
