8th Annual Fall Colors Run

Description

Enjoy the natural beauty of Wisconsin Fall Colors on the scenic Ice Age Trail! No, we will not be throwing any color powder on you...this is just a good old fashioned trail run on a beautiful (but challenging) segment of the Ice Age Trail. You will enjoy amazing views of Lake Wisconsin and Devils Lake from the top of the bluffs and finish in the valley right next to the Merrimac Ferry Landing. Three distances are available so no matter your age or ability we've got an event for you: 2 Mile Family Fun Run/Walk, 4 Mile Run/Walk, or 8 Mile Run. This is not a timed event. There will be a clock at the start/finish if you'd like to track your time. Your registration includes a $20 donation to the Lodi Valley Chapter of the Ice Age Trail Alliance, Wisconsin Fall Colors Run swag for the first 100 registrants, race bib, aid station, a drink (water, sports drink or apple cider) and some seasonal snacks (apples, pumpkin muffins, cookies, etc.). Prizes will be awarded to the top overall Male and Female of the 4-mile & 8-mile runs. We will also hold some (25+) prize drawings that all participants are eligible to win after awards are announced!
