This is a Cupless Series!
The Wisconsin Trail Assail Series is a Cupless Series!
As runners, we strive to protect the environment, and the thought of tossing 100,000+ cups into landfills each year doesn’t sit right with us. That’s why we’ve gone cupless!
But don’t worry—aid stations are here to stay! You’ll still find water and sports drinks available at every event; you just need to bring your own reusable cup or hydration gear.
Plan Ahead:
- Bring a reusable cup, bottle, or whatever you use during training.
- Take advantage of our expanded bag drop areas, where you can leave your nutrition or hydration supplies for easy access.
Let’s work together to enjoy the trails while keeping them beautiful for future generations! 🌿👟
