Black Hawk Ridge Trail Run
The Black Hawk Ridge Trail Run is an October trail running event held at the Black Hawk Unit of the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway. The event is organized by Wisconsin Trail Runs, an all volunteer group that stages two annual trail runs in south central Wisconsin—one in June at Blue Mound State Park and one in October at Black Hawk.
Proceeds from the event support local conservation and recreation groups, including Groundswell Conservancy, the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway Fund, and Friends of Blue Mound State Park. Entry fees and donations are used to help maintain public access to natural areas in the region.
The Black Hawk Ridge event publishes results and photos after the run. Groundswell Conservancy is involved in related community activities such as outdoor volunteer events and field trips that connect people with local natural places. The event page notes community support from local sponsors and a volunteer organizing crew that identifies itself as the Black Hawk Ridge Trail Crew.
Communications around the event include a news update dated October 21, 2025, thanking participants and noting that results and photos are available. The overall presentation emphasizes volunteer organization, community benefit, and support for land protection and public access. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
