Embark on an unforgettable journey at the Dawn to Dusk Endurance Run, taking place on June 27, 2026, in scenic Valders, WI. This acclaimed event, recognized as Northeast Wisconsin's original timed endurance trail run, offers a range of challenges including 24HR, 15.5HR, 8HR, and 6HR distances. Runners will navigate a meticulously maintained 4.5-mile loop course set within the beautiful Camp Sinawa. The terrain is a dynamic blend of rolling hills on dirt jeep roads, winding single-track mountain bike trails, and a brief paved section, with the majority of the course enveloped by lush woods. With 330 feet of elevation gain per lap, the course offers a continuous test of endurance, consistently improved by dedicated volunteers who work on single tracks and drainage to ensure optimal running conditions. Typical race day conditions in late June bring highs around 74°F and lows around 57°F, with a modest 15% chance of precipitation.

The race hub is strategically located in front of Fogle Hall, the camp lodge, serving as both the start/finish line and the main aid station. Here, runners have access to essential ultra staples and can utilize a convenient drop bag area, though waterproof bags are recommended due to exposure to weather. A self-service aid station, stocked with water and Tailwind, is positioned at the halfway point of the loop. Crews are welcome and have ample space to set up near the start/finish line. A unique feature of this endurance challenge is the opportunity to cool off in Pigeon Lake, which runners pass on each lap. Whether you're chasing a new personal best or testing your limits in a vibrant community atmosphere, the Dawn to Dusk Endurance Run promises an exhilarating experience amidst the tranquility of nature.
