Join us for a point-to-point tour of the Northern Kettle Moraine Ice Age Trail!
It's time to kick off the Northern Kettle Trail Running Season!At 7:00 AM, we will start at the southern end, the Highway H Trailhead. Transportation will be provided to the start from the finish (Glenbeulah Trailhead), leaving at 6:15 AM.
After we're done, we'll enjoy some burgers, refreshments, and PRIZES at either Nic's House (only 2 miles by car from the finish), or Fudgienuckles.
There will also be a 25k option that will start at Butler Lake. Again, this run will be Point-to-Point, finishing at the Glenbeulah Trailhead Parking Lot.
The 25k will start from Butler Lake. This stop is also where Aid will be provided to the 50k runners. See the map below for details.
Aid and access to drop bags for the 50k runners will also be provided at Mile 3.5 and at Mile 25. There is water available along the course at additional spots as well, at or near the backcountry shelters.

| The Course |
Aid Stations will include Water, Sports Drink, Coke, Mt. Dew, S!Caps, and assorted normal "Ultra Aid Station" foods. Any special requests?
Questions? Comments? Concerns? Please ask away! Let's make this the best year yet.
We need some solid numbers on participants to make sure we have enough stuff (BEER) at the finish, so please contact Nic or Tony or comment here, or comment on the Facebook page that you'll be running!
And Finally...REMEMBER: This is a fun run. The best effort will be made to provide aid as scheduled and at those locations, but stuff happens, so go in to this run assuming you're on your own! No Whining!
