COURSE DETAILS
SHORT DISTANCE
3.1 Miles
The short course follows the red square markers on the trails. This loop will have one aid station available stocked with water (cup-less), tailwind and various sweet and salty snacks. This is a very friendly introduction to trail running. Wide trails, a few good climbs at the start and rolling hills at the finish that are tough, but fun enough to keep you wanting more. Sign up and tackle this 5k trail course.
ELEVATION GAIN: 292ft
BEGINNER FRIENDLY: Yes
MID DISTANCE
5 Miles
The mid course follows the green circle markers on the trails. This loop will have one aid station available stocked with water (cup-less), tailwind and various sweet and salty snacks. A nice wide trail with climbing at the start and finish of the course. The middle section of this course features a nice flat section for you to re-group and buckle down for a strong finish.
ELEVATION GAIN: 404ft
BEGINNER FRIENDLY: Yes
LONG DISTANCE
10 Miles
The long course follows the blue diamond markers on the trails. This loop will have three aid stations available stocked with water (cup-less), tailwind and various sweet and salty snacks. A double loop of the mid course. This is a good route to hammer down and lay down a fast time. There's enough climb to make it challenging and enough flat to make it fast. Enjoy the pines, enjoy the shade and get those 10 miles done!
ELEVATION GAIN: 808ft
BEGINNER FRIENDLY: No

PARKING / SHUTTLES

MEDALS / GEAR / OVERALL
All runners receive finisher medals!
All finisher medals can also attach to a merchandise item we have for sale that is an official golden kettle medal holder / hanger. The year and name of the trail head is on the front of each medal. Runners can collect these year after year and continue to add to their “chain” of completed golden kettle trail races they’ve done. Update: Due to COVID 19 we can not sell merchandise at the event.
We have various mnerchandise items up for sale now! We will have a full run of different apparel and accessory items for sale at each of the four events.
Overall awards are given to the top 3 male and female finishers in the short, mid and long distance races. These awards are handed out in the finishers area as you finish.
Any runners (male or female) looking to compete for the overall victory in the event must start in this wave, no exceptions. Runners who do not start in this wave, but complete the course with the fastest time of the day will be recognized in the results in their respective place, but will not receive an overall award.
NO TRACE • NO WASTE
No Cups / No Plastic Water Bottles | At all our events, we're eliminating the use of cups at aid stations as well as plastic water bottles at the finish. We will have water fill up stations in the GK Village. PLEASE make sure you run with a handheld or pack to fill up with water or electrolytes while out on course.
Fallen trees = finisher medals | All our finisher medals are made from wood that has been harvested from trees in the Southern Kettle Moraine Forrest. We use hemp as a ribbon and have every intention to continue this awesome process to lower our footprint and have a unique award for finishers.
Clothing | The average American throws away 80lbs of clothing a year. If you're like me, you have SO many race shirts that just stack up and rarely get worn. We're changing that - no race shirt means a lower registration price and less waste from our event. Don't worry, we do have awesome merchandise and gear for sale during registration and at the event. If you like the designs / want to rep the series, you can!
Garbage Bins Everywhere | You'll notice we have A LOT of garbage and recycle bins throughout the village. Use them, and please help us keep the area clean. The goal is always to pack up and leave the space just like it was when we arrived - as if we were never there :). If we see you throwing trash on the ground around the village or on the trail, we will pull your bib and DQ you from the race.

it's about more than running...
LET'S GET REAL
The Golden Kettle Trail Series is excited to be working directly with the Southern Kettle Moraine Department of Natural Recourses to help maintain and improve the trails in the Southern Kettle Moraine Unit.
Every time you race a Golden Kettle Trail Series event, feel good knowing you're a part of something bigger than yourself. By racing, you're enable us to support the DNR and their efforts in both maintaining and improving the trails we all love so much.
