Fire Tower Trail Races

Hinckley, United States • 4 Oct 2025

Fire Tower Trail Races takes place in St. Croix State Park near Hinckley, Minnesota, offering four distances: 100K, 50K, 35K, and 11K. Runners explore forests, rivers, and prairie through the scenic Kettle River valley, on a flat course with generous cutoffs and the comforts of food and camping. A highlight is climbing the historic fire tower mid-run on the longer distances (twice for the 100K), with a lighthearted vertigo option for those who can’t complete the ascent. The event emphasizes a safe, welcoming, old-school trail-running vibe and is part of the UMTR race series in Minnesota’s largest state park.
