Event Information
The Driftless Trail Collective plans to hold the second annual Strawberry Solstice Run on Saturday, June 21, 2025, 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 21st, and ending at 6:00 am [dawn] on June 22nd.
This is our second year with this event, and we are scaling up slightly from the first year while retaining the same intimate feel. As such, we charge a limited amount to support permitting, food, and other needs, while we suggest an additional donation to support the Driftless Area Land Conservancy [DALC]. We will have a limit of 75 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.
Event's current local time: 10:12 AM CT
