Where Trail Birds Flock Together, Hour After Hour

BRONZE TICKET EVENT – Spread your wings at Willenborg Woods and earn your chance to soar toward Big Dog’s Backyard Ultra World Championship!

Welcome to our nest at Willenborg Woods, where 149 acres of lovingly maintained trails await your footsteps. Our roosting spot offers everything from riverside views to ridge-top challenges, all crafted with care by Becca Willenborg and her flock of trail enthusiasts.

Every hour, the rooster crows, and you’ll tackle our beautiful 4.167-mile loop. Last bird standing claims the Bronze Ticket! This isn’t just an endurance event – it’s a gathering of the trail running flock where determination meets community.

• DAY LOOP: Migrate through pristine single-track and groomed grass trails
• NIGHT LOOP: Spread your nocturnal wings over grass trails and country roads

The Nest Rules:

• Complete your migration each hour
• One support bird (crew) in your corner
• Night plumage required (reflection gear)
• Miss the hourly migration, and you’ll need to roost

At Willenborg Woods, our mission goes beyond just hosting races. We’re dedicated to providing a relaxed and fun environment where everyone can experience the joy of being in the woods. We build and maintain all trails on our property with love and care, creating an inclusive space where nature and community come together.

Our races embody our core beliefs:

• Trail running should be challenging but fun
• Everyone deserves to experience the magic of the woods
• Community matters as much as competition
• Family (including spectators) is an essential part of the trail party
