Nothing better than a crisp fall run!

The 8K and 16K courses begin together with a scenic prairie loop to the north. Then runners will divide and the 8K course runs South along the ridge top with dips down a few side valleys, taking you through restored prairie, hardwood forest, and pine plantation with views of the Wisconsin River valley and beyond. The 16K heads to the bottom of the ridge to tour the Wisconsin Heights battlegrounds. You'll climb back up to the top of the ridge, then rejoin the 8K course, pass by the cabin, and head out for the last 6K of your event.

This trail run has a maximum of 270 runners, be sure to register soon.

After the run enjoy warm soup, bread and homemade cookies! Be sure to purchase an extra lunch ticket for your cheering section.

Overall and age group prizes for the fast! Door prizes for the lucky!
