Pen Park Trails Fest

As autumn paints the landscape with vibrant hues, the annual Peninsula State Park Trails Festival invites runners to explore Wisconsin's natural beauty on November 7th. The early morning chill, with temperatures around 38°F, sets the stage for a crisp and invigorating trail run through picturesque forests.
The festival kicks off at Fish Creek Park Pavilion at 9:00 AM, where participants can pick up their bibs before setting out onto winding trails that showcase diverse terrain. The 14K route offers a harmonious blend of gentle slopes and challenging ascents, providing runners with an invigorating mix of landscapes to enjoy.
For those seeking a more substantial challenge, the 30K course delves deeper into dense woods, presenting varied terrains that test both endurance and spirit. This event not only celebrates Peninsula State Park's breathtaking scenery but also supports local community initiatives, such as scholarships for area students.
Early bird registration closes on October 20th at $71.53 per participant, including a T-shirt and post-race refreshments. Regular race fees are slightly higher at $92.93. First-timers should prepare for potential moisture from recent rains; ensure you have appropriate running gear and identification.
Mark your calendars for November 7th to join this celebration of trail running and community spirit, where every step is a testament to the natural beauty that Wisconsin has to offer!
