New for 2025 - Rucking!
What is rucking?
Rucking is a physical activity that involves walking or hiking with a weighted backpack (called a rucksack). The term comes from the military, where soldiers train and operate carrying heavy loads over long distances. In civilian fitness and recreation, rucking is gaining popularity as a versatile and low-impact workout. We now offer it at all Wisconsin Trail Assail Events!

Run/Walk Courses
🔥 Can You Conquer Killer Hill? 🏔️
The challenge is real!
- 5K: Climbs it once 🏃♂️
- 10K: Climbs it twice 💪
- Half Marathon: Climbs it three times 🏅
They call it Killer Hill for a reason!
The course runs along wide, groomed trails. While most sections are covered with chipped wood, be prepared for some areas with rocks and roots. Watch your footing and enjoy the challenge!
Course Distances:
- 5K: One lap
- 10K: Two laps
- Half Marathon: Three laps + three out-and-backs around the pond
Course Notes:
- Distances are approximate due to the nature of trail running. As much as we’d love to, the friendly park staff won’t let us cut down trees to create new paths! 🌲
- We don’t use traditional trail tape or markings—all turns are clearly marked with signs for your guidance.
Walkers Welcome!
Walkers are welcome to join any distance. Just select your desired distance when registering and check the course closure time to ensure you can finish before the course closes.
Although the Walk Division is timed, it’s not competitive, and there are no age group awards. However, walkers will still receive a finisher woodle! 🎉
Enjoy the trail and have a great walk! 🏃♀️🚶♂️

If you're a Wisconsin Trail Assail Series runner, this process won't work for you. Please contact us, and we'll be happy to assist!
This is a Cupless Race!
The Wisconsin Trail Assail Series is now a cupless series! 🌱
Why?
The idea of tossing 100,000+ cups into landfills each year doesn’t align with the values of most runners—or ours!
What Does This Mean?
- Aid stations are NOT going away. There will still be water and sports drinks available at events—but no cups!
- You’ll need to bring a reusable cup or hydration vest.
Thank you for joining us in making a positive impact on the environment while enjoying the trails! 🌲💧
