Cold Coding
Cold Coding takes place on December 13, 2026 in Lake Geneva, WI. The event is organized by TYDISH Running and is held at Lake Geneva Ziplines and Adventures, N3232 County Road H.
Race format and distances
- 4 miles single loop
- 8 miles two loops
The course is a 4 mile loop that includes 463 ft of ascent and 479 ft of descent per loop. The route climbs a hill early and then moves onto winding, technical single-track trails. Participants may encounter bridges and shared-use trail users; the grounds are not used exclusively by the event and runners should yield to others.
This event is focused on Canicross. Canicross involves a person running hands-free while attached to a dog by a bungee line and waist belt. A dog-friendly alternative is allowed, using a Y-shaped harness and a hand-held leash. Participants without dogs may register as solo runners. Podium awards for the top three men and women in each distance are limited to competitors running with a dog. Runners who shorten their chosen distance become ineligible for podium standings. All finishers receive a non-medal finisher item.
On-course offerings and rules include drinks and snacks, a refill of water and electrolyte drink if runners provide their own hydration vessel, a drop-bag table for multiple-loop runners, no alcohol served, a prohibition on noise-makers such as cowbells, and a leave no trace policy. Disrespectful behavior may result in disqualification. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
