The Wisconsin Beef Council and Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation are teaming up to hold its first-ever virtual Burgers & Buns Fun Run next month in celebration of National Beef Month.
Organizers say participants can lace up anywhere and any way they choose between May 24-31.
"Our beef producers hit the ground running every day as they care for their cattle and the land," said WBC Communications Director Kaitlyn Riley. "With their dedication, it is no surprise that today's farmers are producing the same amount of beef with 33 percent fewer cattle than 44 years ago. This is one of the many ways that we can show our gratitude while giving back to families across the state."
All proceeds from the event will go to support the Wisconsin Food and Farm Support Fund organized through Wisconsin Farm Bureau and Rural Mutual Insurance. The program backs farmers and encourages consumption of milk, beef, and other agriculture products to ensure farmers continue to have a place to sell their products and provide Wisconsinites access to nutritious, high-quality foods.
Participants are encouraged to register before May 1 to receive a beefy t-shirt, meat thermometer and tongs for grilling, sunglasses, beef jerky, and more. There will also be opportunities to enter and win free beef throughout the week.
