The Wilderness Run is an enjoyable, but also challenging event. As a participant you will follow a well-marked 2- or 5-mile course leading you through Shoal Creek Historical Village (https://www.shoalcreeklivinghistorymuseum.com/) , across fields, along wooded paths, up and down hills and more!

New 5 mile course this year with more single track trails; you will love it!

Not a big "runner"? No problem! Walkers/hikers are also welcome and encouraged to attend.

After finishing you are invited to fill your new Wilderness Run Mug with warm soup provided by our gracious volunteers and spend time basking in your glory around the campfires we'll have burning. BIG FUN!!

All participants who register prior to Oct 17th, 2025 will be guaranteed to receive the coveted WR Mug and long sleeve T-shirt, so don't delay, register today!
