From the Organizer
This is the inaugural trail race with two distance options: 5K and 10K. The course will take you through restored prairies, woodlands, young and mature oak savannas, pine woods, and Wisconsin's terminal moraine. Runners will experience trails comprised of mixed surfaces on sustainable trails. There is a capacity of ~300 participants so make sure and register early.
100% of the net proceeds from entry fees is donated to the Prairie Moraine Friends and will be used to restore and manage the park. Parking is limited and we gently ask that you ride share.
