WISCONSIN TRAIL RUNS
Wisconsin Trail Runs is an all volunteer organization that puts on two trail runs in beautiful south central Wisconsin, one in June at Blue Mound State Park and one in October at the Black Hawk Unit of the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway. Proceeds go to the Friends of Blue Mound State Park, Groundswell Conservancy, and the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway Fund.
Hello Friends & Runners

The Trail Crew
Savanna Trail Run Series
Participate in at least four of the six area trail races from May to November and be part of our natural and trail running heritage. You'll traverse woods, hills, and prairies across the county at Donald and Indian Lake county parks, Blue Mound and New Glarus Woods state parks, Pheasant Branch Conservancy, and the Black Hawk Ridge Unit of the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway. The landscape of southern Wisconsin was oak savanna, and restoration projects are going on in all our Savanna Series parks. Check out the details here.
