Ahnapee Summer Soltice Ultramarathon and Relay

The Ahnapee Summer Soltice Ultramarathon and Relay is an unforgettable run on the beautiful Ahnapee State Trail. Complete the event solo or as a team of 2-5 runners, and choose from distances of 50K or 50 miles.

Runners will line up at the Kewaunee County Fairgrounds entrance for a 7:00 am start. They will head through Luxemburg to the Ahnapee State Trail, where they will continue for most of the rest of the event. From Luxemburg, they will travel through farmland to Reckelberg Park for the first exchange. Reckelberg Park will be a familiar stop for teams as they will visit this area three times during the event. From there the run heads south toward Kewaunee where they will pass through an exchange zone at the Ice Age Trail parking lot on County C.

At the Ice Age Trail parking lot, there will be a nice spread of food available for runners as they pass through on the out and back. From this point, runners will proceed to the first turnaround at Bruemmer Park. This section of the trail is incredibly scenic as it skirts the Kewaunee River. After the turnaround, runners will pass through the Ice Age Trail Exchange and return to Reckelberg Park. From Reckelberg, they will head east toward Casco, where they will run through cedar swamps and arrive at the second food stop in downtown Casco. This is the turnaround point for the 50K runners, while the 50 milers will continue east.

The next exchange is in Rio Creek, where the final push to the east will commence. This section of the trail crosses farmlands, passes through shaded woodlands, and crosses the Silver Creek. The turnaround for the 50 milers is at the outskirts of Algoma, and the return journey begins. Runners will head west back through Rio Creek, Casco, and Reckelberg Park, where they will make the final push for the finish line at the Kewaunee County Fairgrounds, where the celebration will begin!!

The course is stocked with water and energy drinks every 3-7 miles. In addition, there will be a fully stocked buffet at miles 15 and 25, along with energy gels at each rest stop There are also unmanned water stations available along our longer legs and later segments.
