New Glarus Woods Camping & Trail Race

Join the Madison Trail Runners & friends for a weekend of camping, trail running, biking, hiking, and an optional Swiss town tour!

We have the campsite starting Friday at 3pm until checkout on Sunday at noon. The main event is the New Glarus Woods trail run on Saturday morning, with distance options of 1 mile, 5k run or walk, 8k run, or 16k run. The races all start within a few minutes of 9am, cost roughly $50, and 100% of race proceeds benefit maintenance of the park! Lastly, the (Swiss-themed) post-race party includes polka and alphorn music, beer, brats, Limburger sandwiches, and sauerkraut shots. It is sure to be a gas! Race info and registration found here:

The race is the 4th of the 6 races in the Savannah series trail runs https://savannaseries.org/

Located just outside of town, New Glarus State Park has great running and hiking trails. Conveniently, the Sugar River trail connects the State Park to the town, so those interested can bring a bike for after the race, to commute to and from packet pick up, or for biking in lieu of running. Anyone that wants to camp sans race is welcome, but we only have 16 spots left for camping so please RSVP soon if camping, and post in the chat so we can coordinate a few potluck meals.
