Event details
The Sap Run Scramble takes place on March 21, 2026 at the Embark Maple Farm in Cashton, WI (30904 Rognstad Ridge Road). The event offers two formats: the Foodie 5K Scramble and the Last Person Standing (LPS) Scramble. The Foodie 5K is a muddy, family-friendly 5K through the maple woods with maple-based snack stops spaced roughly every kilometer and post-event wood-fired pizzas, beverages and live music at Ramp Camp. The LPS format requires completing one 5K lap within each hour to continue; laps repeat hourly until only one participant has completed every loop within the hour. Elevation gain per lap is about 1000 feet.
Course and logistics
The route runs through maple woods and crosses old logging roads, dry washes and deer paths on steep hillsides. The course is often off-trail and requires paying attention to terrain and course markers; way-finding is via ribbons and fox markers. Snack stops are provided on course until mid-afternoon; thereafter all aid is located at Ramp Camp. The event runs in varied weather conditions - rain, snow or shine - unless conditions are judged excessively dangerous. Recommended items include good shoes, hiking poles, play clothes, a water bottle and a headlamp for LPS participants. Well-behaved pets on leashes are permitted but must be kept out of the sugar house and kitchen areas. Volunteers are invited; opportunities will be announced.
