Join us in the Wisconsin Northwoods for a low key, locally run event. All races are ran on the North Country Trail with the three key ingredients for a great time; woods, hills, and runners. All races are an out and back style with the start and finish area on Lake St. Croix.
We offer a 5k, Half Marathon, Marathon, and 50/50 Mystery Ultra (between 50k and 50 mile) distance. Runners will not know the distance until they are on the course and get to the “50/50 Mystery Ultra Turn Around Aid Station”.
Participant Limits are 50 runners for each distance (5k, Half Marathon, Marathon, 50/50 Mystery Ultra)
The mission at NCTRaces is to raise a charitable donation for our local chapter of the North Country Trail Association. The Brule-St. Croix chapter of the NCTA is responsible for building, improving, and maintaining the North Country Trail in our area. As runners, hikers, and nature enthusiasts this trail is essential to in our connection to nature. It is our pleasure to help in any way possible, whether through donations, trail work, volunteering, or enrollment.

This is all trail run. I’ve never done a trail run before so nothing to compare it too. However, it was a lot more difficult as a result than a basic 13.1. This was a slow time for me but given that it was trail maybe not too bad?! I got it third place female. Scenery was great. A friend told me trail runs are so interesting the miles breeze by, and they really did! Staffers were nice. One aid station, but very well stocked. T-shirts were cool. Non-traditional medal but interesting.
