Whitewater Trail Challenge
The Whitewater Trail Challenge takes place on a small but scenic portion of the Ice Age Trail near Rice Lake in Whitewater, Wisconsin. The route is an out-and-back using established trail segments that move through terrain shaped by glacial activity. Trail surfaces vary from smooth and well maintained to technical; footing can change quickly along connected trail segments. The local trail type is described as rolling hills on well established trails. The event is scheduled for summer conditions with an average temperature around 19ºC / 67ºF and an average altitude near 275 meters / 900 feet. The nearest major airport is Milwaukee Mitchell International (MKE).

Intermediate race cutoffs are safety based and will be indicated by race staff and volunteers. Mandatory equipment requirement for the 50K includes a 1 liter water carrying capacity.

The course description emphasizes variable footing and the patchwork nature of the Ice Age Trail segments that make up the race route.
