Feel The Burn 2026 : Lapham Peak State Forest
Feel The Burn is a trail run and walk held at Lapham Peak State Forest in Delafield, Wisconsin, located at W329N846 County Road C. The course runs through prairie and uses grass hiking and mountain bike trails; the prairie on the west side of Hwy C is managed with periodic burns and the trail is described as lined with flowers.
The event supports prairie management and is the major fundraiser for Lapham Peak State Forest prairie projects. The first 100 participants receive a short sleeve t-shirt. Awards are given to run winners; participants may pick up awards in the Lapham Lodge shortly after finishing or when results are posted.
Day-of registration is available at the new Lapham Lodge in the Evergreen parking lot. Park merchandise and prairie plant seeds will be available for purchase, and a food truck is planned. A Wisconsin State Park sticker or a $10 special event fee is required for attendance.
