Twisted Roots : High Cliff State Park, Sherwood WI
Twisted Roots is a trail running event on September 12, 2027, organized by TYDISH Running at High Cliff State Park in Sherwood, WI. The event offers the following distances:
- Marathon
- Half Marathon
The courses pass through technical single track and wide rolling prairie sections and offer views of Lake Winnebago. Runners will also see the Niagara Escarpment cliffs and the historical Lime Kiln Ruins. Some trail sections are shared with mountain bikers and horse riders; participants are asked to yield and follow trail etiquette.
The Gathering Space in the upper lot serves as the event base with ample parking. Packet pickup is available the morning of the event at the Gathering Space. The main aid station will be at the Gathering Space and an additional aid station will be placed along the route once final approvals are complete. Aid station supplies include running snacks, water, soda and an electrolyte beverage. This is a cupless event; participants must provide reusable cups or hydration carriers and volunteers will help with refills. A warm meal will be provided after the race, with details announced later.
Cutoff times are 8 hours for the full marathon and 4 hours for the half marathon, roughly a 19 minute per mile pace for the half with a small buffer. Entrants must be 16 years or older; participants under 18 must complete an additional waiver at check in. No alcohol, no disposable single use cups, and no cowbells are allowed. There is an option to donate to Friends of High Cliff State Park during registration to support park programs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
