Glacial Trail 50

There are 50 kilometer and 50 mile distances, with both courses following the Ice Age trail in the Northern Kettle Moraine unit.

The Glacial Trail Run takes place in the northern unit of the Wisconsin Kettle Moraine State Forest.  The course is out and back for both races, and there will be a short section of road at the start (about 1/2 mile).  The trails consist of rolling hills with some rocks, roots, and other normal trail obstacles.
