The Trout Brook
Burkhardt, United States • 10 Oct 2026
The Trout Brook 10-miler
The event is a 10-mile trail race held at Willow River State Park in Hudson, Wisconsin. The course leaves the wide park trails and follows single-track through wooded sections with tight lines, climbs, a set of stairs, and a waterfall along the route. The description notes the race takes place in October when leaves are turning and trails tend to be faster.
Participants pick up bibs and race materials at a large picnic shelter near the visitor center and beach parking area. Park admission is required. Organizers ask runners and volunteers to use the parking lot near the nature center and start area in the park’s southern part and to follow signs on arrival.
An aid station is located at about 4.2 miles and provides water, Heed, individually wrapped snacks, and one restroom; a portable toilet will also be available at the aid station. This is a cupless event, so runners must bring a full water container or bladder and may refill at the halfway aid station. Restrooms are available at the start area.
If a runner needs to drop out, they should remove their bib and give it to the race director or an aid station captain; leaving the course without notifying officials may affect future participation. The race director may delay, suspend, or cancel the event for dangerous conditions. The event statement emphasizes inclusion and asks for participant feedback to improve events.
