Event Information

The Driftless Trail Collective plans to hold the inaugural Strawberry Solstice Run on Saturday, June 22, 2024, at the Millville Bridle Unit in Prairie du Chien. This will be a 10-hour overnight timed course consisting of a 5.25-mile loop beginning at 8:00 pm [dusk] on June 22nd, and ending at 6:00 am [dawn] on June 23rd.

This is our first year for the event, and we are treating it as a test for a larger, scaled-up event in June 2025. As such, we are not charging anything for registration and only suggest that you consider donating to support the Driftless Area Land Conservancy [DALC] as your registration cost. We will have a limit of 50 registrants.

All packets will be handed out and announcements will be made starting between 7 and 7:30 pm at the Millville Bridle Unit on Saturday. The parking lot will serve as race HQ, the sole aid station, and the location of our single porta-potty on the course.

Expect traditional race fare at aid stations (water, soda, pb&j, fruit, salty snacks, candy, etc.), along with traditional Driftless Area elevation and trails. There is one particularly punchy climb at the start that we aim to place lights on to keep runners safe.

The event will be held rain, snow, or shine. We reserve the right to modify or cancel the event due to trail conditions, natural disasters, weather, pandemic, or at the request of the WI DNR or local officials.

You can expect a joyful, supportive, and inclusive atmosphere for this trail race, highlighting a beautiful area deep in the Driftless Area of southwestern Wisconsin.
