Description:

The Driftless Trail Collective will hold the second annual Tour de Dodge on Saturday, April 20, 2024, at Governor Dodge State Park, with proceeds split between the Friends of Governor Dodge and the Driftless Area Land Conservancy [DALC].

We will have a 50K event beginning at 7 am, a NEW 27K event beginning at 9 am, and the 10K beginning at 10:30 am. Packet pick-up and a few announcements will start at 6 am. There will be 5 fully stocked aid stations (2 of which you will visit twice) on the 50K course, 4 aid stations on the 27K course, and one on the 10K course, with portable bathrooms at regular intervals. The 50K has approximately 4,000 ft of elevation gain and a 9-hour cut-off. The 10K has 900 ft of elevation gain and no cut-off.

Expect traditional race fare at aid stations (water, soda, pb&j, fruit, salty snacks, candy, etc.). The race takes place during turkey hunting season, and we highly advise wearing blaze orange or high-visibility gear. The event will be held rain, snow, or shine. We reserve the right to modify or cancel the event due to trail conditions, natural disasters, weather, pandemic, or at the request of the WI DNR or local officials.

You can expect a joyful, supportive, and inclusive atmosphere for this trail race, highlighting a beautiful state park in the Driftless Area of southwestern Wisconsin.
