History of the Shithouse

Phil Skiba and Matt Wallace (The Godfathers of the Shithouse) were running through beautiful historic downtown La Crosse one day in early April 2003 and thought of a great idea. A nice breeze of shithouse air had just come their way. Immediately the idea of the "Shithouse 5k" was the topic of conversation. Besides, who would want to run a boring race through the great UW-L campus or scenic rabbit trails when you can run one through the industrial area and treatment plants of La Crosse, Wisconsin? The shit burns on!
