Run/Walk Courses

5K map | 10K map - two laps

  • 5K: One scenic loop inside Menomonee Park.
  • 10K: Two laps of the 5K course .

Half Marathon Course

Half marathon 

  • 1 loop inside the park + 1 out-and-back on the Bugline Trail (paved) = 1 loop.
  • You’ll complete this loop twice.

📏 Course Note: Distances may not be exact since this is a trail run. While the park staff are great, they (understandably) won’t let us cut down trees to make new paths 🌳🚫.

Course Markings:

  • 12x12 turn arrows 🔄
  • 3-foot tall course signs 🪧
  • Orange SCSE cones 🟠
    (We don’t use traditional trail tape or markings.)

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! 🏃‍♀️🚶‍♂️

Awards, Awards & More Awards

🏆 Overall Awards
The top overall male and female runners in each distance will receive a custom award provided by our partner, Ridgeway Woodworks.

🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️The Average Joe & Jane Awards
Not everyone can be first, but someone has to land right in the middle—and we celebrate that! The Average Joe & Jane Awards are presented to the male and female runners who finish exactly in the middle of all registered participants. More about the Average Joe & Jane awards.

🏃‍♀️🏆WTA Running Team Challenge 
As part of our effort to increase awareness of Run Local / Buy Local, we’ve created the WTA Running Team Challenge. The goal is to highlight local running managers (that’s us), running stores, and running teams (that’s all of you) in a fun and competitive format! More about the WTA Team Challenge.

Course Timing and Early Start Policy

As much as we’d love to spend endless time at our favorite race sites, our permits limit the time we can occupy the course. To comply with these restrictions, the course will close for the final lap at 10:30 AM, and participants will not be permitted to continue once the course is officially closed.

Early Start Option for Half Marathoners
If you're concerned about finishing the half marathon within the allotted time, we're here to help you achieve your running goals! We offer an early start option for half marathoners who need extra time.

  • Important Details:
    • Early starters will receive a chip time.
    • Early starters are not eligible for age group or series awards.
    • The course may not yet be fully set up:
      • Markings, course marshals, police, and aid stations may not be in place.
      • The course will remain open to the public.
    • Early starts are available only for half marathon participants.

Important Rules:
🚫 Non-Half Marathon Participants: Those starting early in other races will not receive an official time and will be disqualified.

🚫 Continuing After Closure: Participants who continue after being asked to stop will also be disqualified.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to ensure a safe and enjoyable event for everyone! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

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! 🌲💧
