Wisconsin Trail Series

A medal...made of wood...aka a Woodle! All finishers in all distances will receive a Woodle!

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!

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. 

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 or whatever you use for training. We are also expanding the areas for a bag drop where you can leave a nutrition/hydration bag.

Walkers are welcome to participate in any distance! When registering, select the distance you would like to participate in. Please check the course closure time to ensure you can finish before the course closes.

The walk division is a timed event. It is not a competitive event and there are no awards for the walk division. Walkers will receive a finisher woodle!

Not sure about a trail run? Come out and try it. If you are not satisfied with our trail events, we will refund the entrance fee! No strings attached.

Kids can run the FREE Kiddo's 1K if a parent is running. They will get a bib and finisher medal, but they must be registered in order to run. Shirts are available for purchase during registration.

Check out our free, fresh fruit, finish line aid station.  Sure beats stale bagels and green bananas...

Points are assigned by place position for each age group. Points will be based on a point system (1st place 10 points, 2nd place 9 points, 3rd place 8 points through 10th place).  You must participate in 4 of the 7 races to be eligible for the series awards.  You can switch between distances (at no cost) but you must run in at least 4 races of the same distance.  

Series age group medals given to the 3 male & female finishers in 5 year age groups. A finisher's medal is given to those that register for the series.

Raised Grain Brewing Company will be providing one free beer to all participants. There will be multiple options including Everyday Warrior Wisconsin Trail Assail IPA! Please make sure you bring your ID.

Here is how it works.

As part of our effort to increase awareness of run local / buy local, we have created the WTA Running Team Challenge. The goal is to increase awareness of local running companies, local running stores, and local running teams in a fun and competitive format. 

Want to join the team challenge? Well it is super-duper easy and free. We only ask that you help promote the WTA Run Series and awareness of run local / buy local.
