Hi, my name is Marlene Carlson, and I’m a snowmobiling enthusiast who’s a little bit crazy — crazy enough to race in a bikini in the middle of a Northwoods winter for a cause that truly matters.

On February 14, 2026, I’ll be participating in the Knocker’s Bikini Radar Run in St. Germain, Wisconsin — a high-energy, crowd-favorite event held as part of the Radar Run weekend. This unique race challenges participants to line up on the ice, wearing swimsuits, helmets, and boots, and race at incredible speeds in freezing winter conditions — all in the name of charity.

While the event is fun, bold, and undeniably cold, the mission behind it is serious. Funds raised through racer pledges are donated to support breast cancer survivors and local rescue organizations in Wisconsin, helping individuals and families who are facing some of the toughest moments of their lives.

I’m proud to take part in this event and to use something I love — snowmobiling — to raise meaningful funds and awareness. Over the next several weeks, I’m setting a personal fundraising goal of $30,000 or more, and I can’t do it without your support.

Every donation, share, and word of encouragement helps turn this wild race into real impact. Thank you for supporting me, supporting this event, and most importantly, supporting those affected by breast cancer.

Let’s send it — for a cause.
