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 2023!

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! Each Woodle includes a magnet on the back. Custom racks are available for purchase from Ridgeway. If purchased prior to April 1st, they will be delivered at the first race. Don't forget to check out the magnetic time cards.

Aid Stations & Bag Drop

There will be two aid stations on course with water, sports drink and energy gels.. They may be self serve

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.

 

Restrooms

Restrooms will be at the start/finish line.

Registration Protection - The insurance premium is 6.75% of the registration cost (including processing fee), with a minimum insurance premium of $7.99 per registrant.
