2024 RECAP
The 11th edition of the Titan 5k was held on Saturday, July 27th at Winnebago County Park in Oshkosh. This year’s race presented a new course due to construction at our normal location. It was a beautiful summer day, although certainly warmer than idea for distance racing. Our top 2 female finishers and our top male finisher will all join our all-time list!
Our event raised over $1,200 to support a variety of local causes. We are donating money this year to support the following organizations, and you can learn more about these organizations under our “Causes” Tab:
These three causes join the long list of people we have aided over the years, and we are proud to continue to host an event that seeks to help so many who have a variety of needs.
The 2024 race had 66 finishers, and participants went home with a race tshirt, two free door prizes, and other free giveaways. The Kiddy Quarter had over 10 children participate, and that race is always a highlight of our event. Kiddy Quarter participants do not pay a fee to race, and they went home with a free stuffed animal and enjoyed freezie pops after their race. Individual children champions Emilie and Drew won t-shirts and sunglasses for their efforts.
Current Titan Cameron Cullen, NCAA qualifier in 2023 in Cross Country, earned his first Titan 5k victory, finishing in a time of 15:34.03, which is the 17th fastest time in race history.
Former Titan and two time NCAA All-American Cheyenne Moore won her 5th Titan 5k championship after her 4 year streak was narrowly ended a year ago. Cheyenne is the all-time leader in Titan 5k victories, as no other runner has more than three. Cheyenne’s winning time of 17:35.41 is good for the 5th fastest time in event history, and Cheyenne now owns 5 of the 6 fastest times ever run at the event.
Rounding out the men’s top 5 were Jason Ford (former Titan NCAA qualifier), Roberto Lara (former Titan 4 time All-American), Erik Johnson, and current Titan Brady Lewis.
Rounding out the women’s top 5 were Amelia Lehman (current Titan 3 time All-American), McKenzie Kelly Klitz (former Titan 2 Time All-American and Titan 5k champ in 2013), MacKenzie Dix (current Titan), and former Titan Tricia Cich.
Three age group records were set at this year’s race. Emilie Wilkins broke the 14 and under female record with a winning time of 21:26.27. Jay Weber broke the 14 and under male record with a winning time of 17:56.83. Jason Ryf, who is a two-time Olympic Trials Marathon Qualifier, broke the 50-54 Male record with a winning time of 17:02.38. Ryf owns two age group records at the Titan 5k (40-44M).
The Master’s (40+) winners were Todd Boehnlein for the men in 16:58.51 and Ashley Shoquist for the women in 23:22.18. Todd and Ashley won special awards for their victories.
The top Titan alumni awards went to Jason Ford (overall runner-up) on the men’s side and to Cheyenne Moore (overall champion) on the women’s side. The top Master’s (40+) alumni awards went to Mike Wehrley on the men’s side and Susan Skinner on the women’s side. These top alumni all won special awards.
Special prizes were also awarded to the oldest and youngest finisher of each gender, which were won by John Zupanc, Jay Weber, Rhonda McKenna, and Emilie Wilkins.
Please spend some time looking over results and check out our sponsors link to thank all the organizations, restaurants, alumni, and other individuals who helped make our event awesome. We had our 2nd best year ever in terms of number of donors who helped our causes and our event this year. We will attempt to post some photos in the future, and our plan is to be back in late July or early August of 2024 with the 12th edition of the Titan 5k.

2023 RECAP
The 10th edition of the Titan 5k was held on Saturday, August 5th in Menominee Park in Oshkosh along the shores of Lake Winnebago. The conditions were nice for summer racing and we had some fast times recorded on the day. Our top 4 female finishers and our top 3 male finishers will all join our all-time list!
Our event raised almost $1,500 to support a variety of local causes. We are donating money this year to support the following organizations, and you can learn more about these organizations under our “Causes” Tab:

These three causes join the long list of people we have aided over the years, and we are proud to continue to host an event that seeks to help so many who have a variety of needs.
The 2023 race had 85 finishers, and participants went home with a race tshirt, a free door prize, and other free giveaways. The Kiddy Quarter had almost 30 children participate, and that race is always a highlight of our event.

On the women’s side, VanDehy moved into 2nd in Titan 5k history, Moore moved into 3rd (she also has the #1 and #4 times ever), Moldenhauer moves into 10th, and Zielinski moves into 12th all-time.

2022 RECAP
The 9th edition of the Titan 5k was held on Saturday, August 6th in Menominee Park in Oshkosh along the shores of Lake Winnebago. The warm, sunny and humid conditions were not ideal for racing this year, especially after last year’s cooler and overcast weather, but it was a beautiful day overall and we still witnessed some outstanding performances from our competitors. We enjoyed a great day for racing. Although conditions were a bit muggy and humid, competitors were aided by overcast skies and temperatures in the 70s. The event raised $1,050 to support UW Oshkosh students from disadvantaged backgrounds by benefitting programs that aid in the retention of those students. We are donating money to support the following groups at UW Oshkosh:
The Accessibility Center -serves those with disabilities
Indigenous Student Support and Wellness
Department of Intercultural Engagement – serves minority student populations
TRIO Student Support – serves first generation college students
Oshkosh 94 Leadership Award – scholarship for outstanding leadership among African American students
Women’s Center
LGBTQ+ Resource Center
We are proud to continue to host an event that seeks to help so many who have a variety of needs.
We had about 90 registrants for the 2021 Titan 5k, and participants went home with a race tshirt, a free door prize, and other free giveaways. The Kiddy Quarter saw about 30 children participate, and that race is always a highlight of our event. Kiddy Quarter participants do not pay a fee to race, and they went home with a free stuffed animal, a free pair of sunglasses, and enjoyed freezie pops after their race.
This year's Titan 5k saw returning champions and event record holders Cheyenne Moore and Joe Zack defend their titles. Cheyenne Moore, assistant coach at UW Oshkosh and former UWO All-American, became our first 4 time winner of the event, as she has claimed the last 4 titles. Cheyenne’s winning time of 17:11 is the second fastest time in event history behind her 2021 record (16:37), it also is a new Titan 5k age group record, and she earned $50 as a repeat champion among other prizes. Joe Zack won his second title overall and his winning time of 15:08 is also second in event history behind his 2021 record (14:48). Joe, also a former UWO All-American, can tie former Titan Derek Johnsrud as a three time champion with a victory next year. Joe also took home $50 as a repeat champion. Both Cheyenne and Joe train with a group called North Coast Running, one of the event sponsors.
We had many other highlights from our competitors. In the women’s results, 2nd place finisher Erin Moldenhauer, who also trains with North Coast Running, demolished our Master’s record by running 18:56, followed closely by fellow Master’s runner Sarah Mahaney in 19:02, who finished third overall. Cheyenne, Erin, and Sarah join the all time list of top performances at the Titan 5k. Former Titans Katie Gellings, Elizabeth Reddeman, Brittany Gibson, Hannah Lohrenz, and Danica Reichardt all finished in the top ten. Former Titan Mary Gellerup Bolich finished 11th, but notably destroyed her age group record, joining Cheyenne and Erin as one of three age group record breakers.
In the men’s results, current Titan Jason Ford finished 2nd, and his time of 15:33 joins the all time list of top performances at the Titan 5k. Michael Kluz, recent UW Stevens Point graduate, finished 3rd in 15:53. Current Titans Cody Witthun, Andrew George, and Cameron Cullen finished 4th, 6th, and 10th, respectively, while former Titans Derek Johnsrud (3 time champion), Roberto Lara, and Michael Kreuser finished 5th, 8th, and 9th, respectively.
