R.O.P.E.S. Trail Run Cross Plains, WI   Aug 1, 2026

This is a charity run fundraising event.

15K Run. This course has a little bit of everything for those up for a challenge. Covering Indian Lake, Matz Farmstead Ruins, and Halfway Prairie Wildlife Area’s trails, the terrain has rolling hills over a mix of singletrack, rough-hewn grassy trail, and double-wide ski trails. The views on this course are one of a kind, which makes inclines worth the challenge. It’s not all hills. There’s a relatively flat half-mile stretch near the end where you can show off your speedwork.

15K Relay (3 x 5K). Team up with a couple of friends to form a 3 x 5K relay. This route covers Indian Lake’s finest Ice Age Trail and more. Covering a mix of singletrack, rough-hewn grassy trail, and double-wide ski trails, this course is covered in shade with the final stretch opening up to a grassland prairie area making an opportunity for speedwork to the finish.
