Adrenaline Races

Get ready to experience the thrill of the Adrenaline Races on September 20, 2026, in picturesque West Bend, WI. Offering a full marathon (26.2M), half marathon (13.1M), 10K (6.2M), and 5K (3.1M), this event provides a challenge for every runner. The race unfolds primarily along the historic Eisenbahn Trail, a former railroad corridor transformed into a scenic running path. Runners will navigate a relatively flat, out-and-back course, primarily surfaced with limestone screenings, with a paved start and finish near downtown West Bend at 705 Village Green Way. Prepare to be immersed in the beauty of Wisconsin's countryside, tracing past the glacial landscape of the Kettle Moraine State Forest, with the marathon route showcasing charming small towns, tree-lined sections, and serene fishing ponds.

Known for its excellent organization, the Adrenaline Races series has a strong reputation among runners. The full marathon is a certified Boston Qualifier, making it an ideal choice for those chasing a personal best on a fast course. Participants can expect a well-supported event, with the marathon distance featuring eight aid stations in each direction. All finishers are rewarded with a medal and a technical race t-shirt, with top male and female finishers, as well as age group winners, receiving additional recognition. Typical race day conditions in late September offer pleasant running weather, with historical highs around 72°F and lows around 51°F, and only a 13% chance of precipitation, creating a comfortable environment for your race. Post-race food will be available at the start/finish line to celebrate your accomplishment.
