Event Description

Run the Hawk Trail Runs is the newest trail running experience to the WI Driftless Area. With a 3, 6, and 12 hour ultra endurance challenge, team relay challenge and 3K/5K fun run at the historic Blackhawk Ski Club, this event has something for everyone.

The Challenge

The goal of the 3, 6 and 12 hour challenge (individual and tea relay) is to complete as many laps as possible in the designated time around the ~2.15 mile course. Being a ski hill we have the hills covered for you but you will also be running on a nice flat creek side path with amazing views, through gorgeous 70 foot pines, along some of the nicest bike trails in the area and of course under the iconic 60 Meter ski jump. There is also a natural spring pool with rope swing at the bottom of the switchbacks you can jump in if you need to cool off.

Team relay options are also available for the 3, 6 and 12 hour challenges with teams between 2-4 people. Set up basecamp and enjoy the day running and bonding with friends. 

Trail Mix Fun Run

New to trail running or not quite ready for a multi-hour run? Then The Trail Mix 3K/5K "ish" Fun Run is for you. The 3K is one (1) lap around the course and the 5K is two (2) laps. We know the trail math doesn't quite add up but it will make sense the day of the event. It's the same great course as the challenge events just without the big hill climb. There is still elevation gain on this route, it is a ski hill after all, but this course is much gentler and great for any experience level.
