WELCOME TO THE 2024 WHITEWATER TRAIL CHALLENGE
The Ice Age Trail is a 1,200 mile footpath that traverses Wisconsin and is designed to showcase the lasting impact of ice age glaciers on the landscape of the state. One of only eleven National Scenic Trails, the Ice Age Trail is an iconic route covering vast and diverse natural areas, and is a longstanding magnet for hikers and runners.
The trails vary from smooth and well-maintained to extremely technical, and because the route is a patchwork of connected segments, the footing can change quickly!
The Whitewater Trail Challenge course covers a small but scenic portion of the trail – an out and back from Rice Lake near the town of Whitewater – but with this taste of what the Ice Age Trail has to offer our racers will be tempted to keep exploring!
