5th Annual McCarthy Park Trail Run

Event Dates

  • Sunday, 10/30/2016

Event Description

8:30am - 1:00pm

The McCarthy Park Trail Run offers 9K, 18K, and 18K two-person relay trail races, and a free 1K kids race. Kids are encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes in the race! Our event is the 5th and final race in the WI Trail Run Savannah Series. Proceeds will benefit "The Friends of McCarthy Park" who support many projects throughout the park each year. The proceeds from the run help fund winter activities in the park. With the past race proceeds we have helped with the cost of grooming the ski trails, the sledding hill and snow plowing.

The 9K, 18K and 18K relay trail runs will follow the same route and will provide a fun and challenging course. McCarthy Park is a Dane County Conservation Park with prairie, woods and wetlands. The run will take you on trails throughout all areas of the park with hills, prairie and a short section of gravel road. Join us for post-race lunch and awards.

9k, 18k, and relay runners will receive a technical shirt, while participants in the kid's run will receive a cinch sack filled with goodies. Prizes will be awarded to the top M/F finisher in each race, and to the top 3 in each of the following age groups: <14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65+

Bib pick up and race day registration opens at 8:30am race day. Race day registration is $40.00.
