Description

Can you conquer Killer Hill? The 5K climbs it once, 10K twice and the half three times. They call it Killer Hill for a reason!

The course is on wide groomed trails. Most of them are chipped covered, but there are some area with rocks and roots.

NEW FOR 2024!

A medal...made of wood...aka a Woodle! Finisher woodles for ALL distances!

 

Woodles from Ridgeway Woodworks have the added benefit of being made from reclaimed wood, meaning, these awards not only look great, but they cut down on waste! 

 

Place

1927 E Sunset Drive
Minooka Park
Waukesha, WI US 53189

T-Shirts

The shirts are gender specific, dry wick and those registered noon September 9th are guaranteed a custom race shirt.  After that, shirts be available while on line supplies last. 

Everything you ever wanted to know about shirts can be found right here.  The FEMALE shirts run small!

Run/Walk Courses

5K one lap | 10K two laps |1/2 three laps + 3 out and backs around pond
Everyone gets to climb Killer Hill at least once!

 

The course distances will not be exact since it is trail running, and, as nice as the park people are, they won't let us cut down trees to make new paths. 

 

The course is well marked with 12X12 turn arrows, 3' tall course signs, and orange SCSE cones. It does not use the traditional trail tape or markings.

 

Walkers are welcome to participate in any distance! When registering, select the distance in which you would like to participate. Please check the course closure time to ensure you can finish the distance you choose before the course closes.

 

Although the Walk division is a timed event, it is not a competitive event. There are no age group awards for the Walk division. Walkers will still receive a finisher woodle!

This is a Cupless race!

The Wisconsin Trail Assail Series is a cupless series!

 

The idea of throwing 100,000+ cups in a landfill each year doesn’t seem in line with what most runners support. This has been in the works for 2+ years, but covid interrupted its implementation. Now is the time to do it!

 

Don’t worry, we’re NOT doing away with aid stations. There will still be aid stations with water and sports drinks at events, just no cups! You will need to bring a reusable cup with you. We are also expanding the areas for a bag drop where you can leave a nutrition/hydration bag.
