THIS IS A CUPLESS RACE!
The Wisconsin Trail Assail Series is a cupless series!

The idea of throwing 100,000+ cups in a landfill each year doesn’t seem in line with what most runners support. This has been in the works for 2+ years, but covid interrupted its implementation. Now is the time to do it!

Don’t worry, we’re NOT doing away with aid stations. There will still be aid stations with water and sports drinks at events, just no cups! You will need to bring a reusable cup with you. We are also expanding the areas for a bag drop where you can leave a nutrition/hydration bag.

WALKER FRIENDLY COURSES
While the Wisconsin Trail Assail Series course can be technical and challenging, they are also very walker friendly! Walker are welcome to join any race and any distance! 

THE SILVER CIRCLE SPORTS GUARANTEE
Not sure about a trail run? Come out and try it. If you are not satisfied with our trail events, we will refund the entrance fee! No strings attached.

KIDDOS RUN FOR FREE
Kids can run the FREE Kiddo's 1K if a parent is running. They will get a bib and finisher medal, but they must be registered in order to run. Shirts are available for purchase during registration.

FREE FRESH FRUIT BAR
Check out our free, fresh fruit, finish line aid station.  Sure beats stale bagels and green bananas...
