Greenbush Trailhead race in Kettle Moraine State Forest
The event starts and finishes at the Greenbush Trailhead in Kettle Moraine State Forest. All loops begin and end at the trailhead. The course uses a network of dirt and grass trails that are generally wide and not very technical, with the exception of routes near Oleson Cabin and Blue Springs. Each loop begins with a substantial hill and levels out after roughly the first mile. Routes are marked with colored flags and arrows in more difficult sections.
Choose from multiple loop options:
- Short Course about 4 miles
- Mid Course about 5.1 miles
- Long Course about 10 miles
- Golden Gauntlet about 19.1 miles combining the long, mid and short loops; participants check in after each loop
Aid and facilities are limited and cup less. Aid station 1 at the trailhead serves water, Hammer electrolytes and snacks; runners must carry their own reusable bottles. Pit toilets are available at the trailhead. Parking is ample near the trailhead but the park requires an annual Wisconsin State Park sticker or a day pass for all vehicles; day pass purchases at the park may require cash or check.
The event runs rain or shine, though organizers may cancel for severe weather, adverse trail conditions or at the request of park officials. The event emphasizes sustainability measures such as recycling, no paper cups at aid stations and encouragement of carpooling. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
