The Glacial Trail 50 is Wisconsin's fall ultra, held in the Northern Kettle Moraine State Forest.  Starting in Greenbush, runners will take a connector trail from town out to the Ice Age Trail, which comprises most of the course.  Hopefully fall colors will be at their peak!

2024 On-line Registration will be open April 1st thru Oct. 7th (noon)
