Defrost Your Nuts Run
Traditionally starts in Hudson, WI. Seems that everyone has their own favorite place to begin this one. You can join in anywhere along WI35. Some people also go down MN61, but the ride is not as nice. Usually about 10,000 bikes on this one. The horde usually leaves Hudson around 11am or so. I recommend getting out in front of it.

Fall Flood Run September 20th
Over the year's, the Flood Run has grown and gone thru many changes as one of the oldest and larger runs in America.
The original run went down Minnesota highway 61 to Winona to help sandbag during the 1965 floods.
Through the years, many people avoided the traffic of Hastings MN. and
Red Wing MN. by riding down Wisconsin 35. Now the run has grown to a
massive number of motorcycles and to alleviate the congestion going
into some of the towns, we are adding the original nostalgia run down
the Minnesota side.
Incorporating the whole Mississippi River Valley. It floods on both sides of the river.
The Flood Run has always been a charity event.
From throwing sandbags in 1965 to buying a discount wristband to support a great cause!
Now all you have to do to participate in the Flood Run is buy a discount
wristband for $10.00 to be on the run. We also have Official run
shirts, woman's shirts, pins, skull caps.
With the $10.00
discount wristband you get a discount at every stop at any business
listed down the Flood Run. Many Minnesota and Wisconsin businesses have
jumped on board to help with some great discounts making your $10.00
discount wristband worth hundreds of dollars if you hit every stop. A
Flood Run discount wristband in the 1970's was $10.00 and still is. Add
it up together we can help a lot of kid's who need our help.
