St. Croix Running Company coordinates several foot trail races in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

This Saturday is the 14th running of the Icebox, and the last race of our 2026 season.

When the Icebox started, we figured it would last a few years. Now it’s one of five races, and none of it would exist without our families, our volunteers, and a group of race directors who are always willing to share advice and lend a hand.

Running Saturday? See you at Whitetail Ridge. Not running? Come cheer the loops.

Icebox is less than two weeks away, and some of you are already standing in the garage staring at a plastic tub.

Good. That tub matters more than you think.

At a loop race, your drop bin is your aid station, your closet, and your pep talk. New on the blog: what to pack, what to leave home, and the one thing everyone forgets.

Post 2: Monday, Nov. 2

Starting November 1, I’m taking on the 75 Hard challenge: 75 days of two workouts a day (one outside), a gallon of water, ten pages of reading, a clean diet, and a daily progress photo. Miss a day, and you start over.

That stretch covers Icebox, the holidays, and a Wisconsin January. With an outdoor workout every single day.

This week’s blog covers what the challenge is, why I’m doing it instead of taking the winter off running, and a couple of rules I’m bending (the b**r stays).

I’d love your support, and if you want to join in, even for part of it, let me know. Monthly updates to come.

The trail is calling and you must go!

The mind will tell you to stop long before your body needs to. At Icebox, the clock decides when you’re done.

240 or 480 minutes. Just-under-5-mile loop. Whitetail Ridge, River Falls. Saturday, November 7.

Pick a number. Register. Make hard the norm.

Registration closes before race day, and we’ve filled up before.

When you were ten, the creek at the end of the block was an expedition. Nobody gave you a course map. You just picked a place and went.

This week on the blog, Chris writes about getting that feeling back. These days he rarely races. He’d rather make up his own adventures with some water and a credit card, using a string of Kwik Trips across neighboring towns as checkpoints only he knows about. That same idea once took him across Minnesota.

The runs we remember most aren’t always the ones with a finish chute. They’re the ones where we drew the line on the map ourselves.

So this fall, plan one. Run to the bakery two towns over. Plan a loop that crosses the St. Croix twice. Find the trailhead you’ve driven past a hundred times. Then come back and tell us where you went.

And if you’d rather have someone else draw the map this weekend, Trout Brook is Saturday.
