First Mondays Summer Trail Series
Iola, United States • 1-3 Jun-Aug 2026
First Mondays Summer Trail Series
The Iola Winter Sports Club hosts a three night trail series on the first Mondays of June, July, and August at E398 County Road MM, Iola, WI. Each month features a new 5K course and the series concludes with a championship night in August. The Pineries Running Lab is the presenting sponsor and will be present to answer running related physical therapy questions.
The program on each night includes a free kids 1k for ages 10 and under, a vertical challenge where participants run from the bottom of a ski jump to the top on a different hill each event, and the main 5K trail run. Races are untimed. Day of registration is available.
Participants earn points across the series for each event they enter on a given night. Each point equals one raffle ticket; raffle winners are drawn after the races on the final night in August. The cost per night is $10 per participant.
Proceeds from the series support construction of new trails and trail maintenance at the Iola Winter Sports Club. Additional on-site activities have included music, food, and a mountain bike skills area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
