Embark Sap Run Scramble LPS

Event overview

The Sap Run Scramble is set for March 21, 2026 at Embark Maple Farm in Cashton, WI (30904 Rognstad Ridge Road). The event uses a rugged 5K route through maple woods during syrup season. The route runs on old logging roads, dry washes and deer paths across steep hillsides and is often off-trail, so participants must follow ribbons and fox markers and pay attention to terrain and course markers.

There are two main formats on the same route:

• The Foodie 5K Scramble includes maple-based snack stops about every kilometer and allows up to four hours to complete the course, with food and music at Ramp Camp afterward.
• The Last Person Standing (LPS) format requires completing one 5K lap per hour to continue. Each lap includes about 1000 feet of elevation gain; racers repeat laps hourly until they stop.

Logistics and on-course details

Snack stops on the course are available until 4pm, after which full aid is at Ramp Camp. After the scramble there are wood-fired pizzas, beverages and live music at Ramp Camp. The event runs in rain, snow or sun; cancellation is possible only for excessively dangerous weather such as high winds, lightning or flash flooding.

Well-behaved pets on leashes are welcome but must be kept out of the sugar house and kitchen areas. Recommended items include good shoes, hiking poles, a water bottle, a headlamp for LPS participants, and any personal nutrition needs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
