Elver Park Trail Run
The Elver Park Trail Run is a fall trail race held at Elver Park in Madison, Wisconsin on November 7, 2026. The event offers multiple distances with marked courses that begin and end behind the Elver Main Shelter. Course maps are provided for the 5K and 10K routes and for the 1K Valley Loop.
- 10K Run
- 5K Run or Walk
- 1K Kids Fun Run (free)
The 10K and 5K follow the same westward segment; 5K participants return to the shelter to finish while 10K participants continue onto an east-side loop. Courses will be marked with flags and signage. The kids 1K uses the Valley Loop path and will be led by a costumed animal leader, with additional sweep volunteers so participants do not get lost.
Pre-registration pricing is listed through November 6, 2026: adults $45, students $30. Race-day registration pricing is adults $50, students $35. Registrants who register by October 23, 2026 will receive a T-shirt. Results will be posted later in the day after the race.
A raffle is held after the races, including a treadmill donated by Johnson Health Tech; the winner need not be present and must arrange prize pickup. The event also includes a social gathering after the races with snacks, drinks, and yard games. Volunteers and bakers are requested to support the event.
