The Willow is a is 10 and 20-mile trail race offering a variety of landscapes to challenge all types of runners. From the flats to rolling hills to steep climbs each loop offers new challenges around every corner. Coupled with the changing topography the course takes the runners in and out of forests over bridges to full frontal meeting with the centerpiece of the park the Willow Falls.

The Willow 10 & 20 Miler is one week away — and if you're registered, this post is for you.

The training is done. This week is about holding steady: keep your runs short and easy, get your gear sorted, eat the foods you know, and don't talk yourself into anything dramatic with seven days to go.

A note from the race director is hitting inboxes before race day with final details you’ll want to know. Keep an eye out for it.

20-milers go at 7:00 am. 10-milers go at 8:00 am. Willow River State Park, Hudson. We’ll see you Saturday.

Race day doesn't happen without the people who show up to make it work.

We're looking for volunteers for the Willow 10 & 20 Miler on Saturday, May 2nd at Willow River State Park. Here's where we need help:

Registration — be the first face runners see on race morning
Aid Station — keep runners fueled and moving at mile 6.75
Course Marshal — hold down a junction and keep everyone on track
Finish Line — welcome every single runner home
Sweeping — hike the course after the last runner and bring it home

Every role matters. If you've ever crossed a finish line and felt grateful for the people who made it possible, this is your chance to be one of those people.

Fourteen days to the Willow 10 & 20 Miler.

If you've had the registration tab open and keep telling yourself you'll decide later — this is the nudge. You don't have to have trained perfectly. You just have to be willing to show up and let the trail do the rest.

And if running isn't the plan, we still need you. Volunteers are what make race day actually work — aid stations, course support, finish line. It's a genuinely good way to spend a Saturday morning in one of the best parks in Wisconsin.

New post on the blog about both. Registration and volunteer info in the comments.

There's something that happens on a trail that doesn't happen on a road.

The pace slows just enough. The noise drops away. You stop thinking about your split and start thinking about your footing — and somewhere in that shift, the run becomes something else entirely.
That's what Willow River State Park does to you. Grass and gravel single-track, rolling terrain, ridgelines that open up when you least expect them.

Thirty days from right now, the trails at Willow River State Park will be full of runners doing something they decided to do today.

The Willow 10 & 20 Miler is on May 2nd — and if it's been in the back of your mind, this is your sign to stop thinking about it and start training for it.

10 miles. 20 miles. Roots, ridgelines, open meadows, and a finish line that earns its place.

Register at the link below. We'll see you out there.

A new year doesn’t need a loud resolution.
It needs a goal you can build toward, one run at a time.

The Willow 10 and 20-mile Trail Race is a spring training milestone for runners who value consistency, community, and showing up prepared.

Registration is open, and early registration savings are available now.
