Echo 136
Echo 136 is a roughly 136 mile point to point ultramarathon on the Ice Age Trail near Whitewater, WI, held on September 24, 2027 and organized by TYDISH Running. The course begins at the Rice Lake boat launch and follows primarily Ice Age State Trail terrain including groomed trails, singletrack, bike paths and road connectors. Participants are given 55 hours to complete the route.
The event uses nine fully stocked aid stations positioned along the trail. Stations are described as a mix of tents, buildings, homes and pavilions and will provide water, soda, ice, an electrolyte drink and a variety of foods including sweet, salty and warm options; the organizers will note main entrees and attempt to accommodate dietary preferences. If a participant is celiac and notifies organizers, individual food storage at chosen aid stations is offered though gluten cross contamination cannot be guaranteed.
A total elevation gain of about 11,148 ft and loss of about 10,961 ft is provided as an approximation based on the route creation files. GPX files will not be provided; the FarOut app with offline maps is required gear and proof of the map may be requested before starting. Additional policies include a no alcohol provision by the event, no single serve disposable cups provided, and restrictions on noise makers. Pacers are permitted from Aid Station 4 onward with limits on the number present at one time and minimum age requirements for participants and pacers.
