Cold Coding in Lake Geneva
Cold Coding is a December trail running event organized by TYDISH Running at Lake Geneva Ziplines and Adventures, N3232 County Road H, Lake Geneva, WI. The course uses a 4 mile loop on winding, technical singletrack trails with shared use by mountain bikers and some trail bridges. The 4 mile loop records 463 ft of ascent and 479 ft of descent. Participants may run one loop or two for a total of 8 miles.
The event emphasizes Canicross. Canicross competitors run hands free attached to their dog via a bungee line and waist belt. The event also allows a dog on a y-shaped harness with a handheld leash; this is treated as a dog-friendly option rather than Canicross. Only participants running with a dog are eligible for podium awards for the top three men and women in each distance. Runners who shorten their chosen distance become ineligible for podium standings. All finishers receive a small finisher item that is not a medal.
Entry fees include registration, drinks, snacks, and a finisher gift; event shirts and other swag are not included by default. On course there will be water and an electrolyte drink, but no single-use disposable cups; runners should bring their own hydration vessel. Alcohol and noise makers such as cowbells are not allowed. Participants and spectators are expected to follow Leave No Trace principles; disrespectful behavior can lead to disqualification. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
