Join us Saturday, August 15 for the 7th annual New Glarus Wood Trail Run! We are part of the Savanna Trail Run Series. Proceeds from this event go to the Friends of New Glarus Woods State Park. We aim to host a top notch trail run that highlights our park. Stick around after the race for lunch, awards and other activities!
Parking is at New Glarus High School. Then walk, jog or take the shuttle bus to the start area in the park. Please see our website for more details on the shuttle and bag drop.
We are starting the Kids Run earlier and on a shorter course to accommodate parents who want to run with their child or see them run. They will start and finish at the day use area!
We are adding optional Social Runs on a few dates if you would like to familiarize yourself with the route and park. Look for future run communication for information.
Note: No race day registration. Registration fee increases to $60 July 1, 2025
REGISTRATION PICKUP WILL BE IN THE PARK
