The Sap Run Scramble
The Sap Run Scramble takes place on March 21, 2026 at Embark Maple Farm, 30904 Rognstad Ridge Road, Cashton, WI. The event uses a single forest route and offers two formats:
- 5K Foodie Scramble - maple-based snack stops approximately every kilometer.
- 5K Last Person Standing - repeat 5K laps until a runner fails to complete a lap within the hourly cutoff; each lap includes about 1000 ft of ascent.
Course, logistics and facilities
The course runs through maple woods and includes old logging roads, dry washes, deer paths and steep hillsides. Sections are often off-trail and route finding is by ribbons and fox markers. The terrain is described as rugged, slippery and muddy during syrup season, so participants should expect uneven footing and changing conditions.
Maple-based snack stops are provided on the course and an aid station is located at Ramp Camp. After running, food and beverages, wood-fired pizzas, live music, sugarhouse tours and community hikes are offered at the farm. Pets on leashes are allowed but must be kept out of the sugar house and kitchen areas. The event is held rain, snow or shine and will only be altered for excessively dangerous weather such as high winds, lightning or flash flooding. LPS participants are advised to bring a headlamp because the course is not lit. Volunteers are invited to assist. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
