Among the Trees

Among the Trees is a trail ultramarathon held on October 30, 2027, in the Southern Kettle Moraine Forest near Dousman, Wisconsin. The event uses sections of the Scuppernong trails and the historic Ice Age Trail and starts at DJ Mackie Campground.

Distances offered:

The course follows the Scuppernong green loop before joining the Ice Age Trail westward to Emma Carlin. The 100k course may be extended to Whitewater and back when organizer safety and volunteer coverage are met; if the full course does not open, the 100k will be two loops of the 50k course. Pacers may join 100k runners anytime at or after the turnaround at Whitewater.

Elevation totals are listed as 6,493 for the 100k and 2,221 for the 50k. Aid station locations for the 100k, when the full course is open and at least 25 100k runners participate, include HWY 67, Emma Carlin, HWY 12, and Whitewater (turnaround), with additional visits to HWY 12 and Emma Carlin on the return. The 50k aid stations list HWY 67, Emma Carlin (turnaround), HWY 67 again, and the finish.

Aid station items include water, Tailwind, peanut butter and jelly, pickles, bananas, potato chips, and sour patch candies.
