Courses

5K Run/Ruck | 2 mile Walk

Experience a winter route designed for everyone—flat, speedy, and surrounded by scenic views. The Frostbite 5K takes you through the historic and tree-lined grounds of the Nashotah House Theological Seminary, offering a smooth and inviting course for runners, walkers, and ruckers alike.

Please note that this is an open course.


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! 🏃‍♀️🚶‍♂️


Ruckers Welcome

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!
