Run From The Tax Man

Shake off the stress of tax season and hit the scenic trails at the Run From The Tax Man on Saturday, April 11, 2026, in picturesque Delafield, WI! This unique event, held at Lapham Peak State Park, offers a fun and challenging escape for runners, ruckers, and walkers alike. Choose your distance from a Half Marathon (13.1M), 10K (6.2M), or 5K (3.1M) run, walk, or ruck, and figuratively outrun those tax-day blues.

Prepare for a hilly and technical course, celebrated as one of the more challenging in the Wisconsin Trail Assail Series. The trails wind through rocky and sandy sections, dirt paths, and feature natural obstacles like tree roots and washouts, promising an engaging experience for all abilities, including new trail enthusiasts. A distinctive highlight is the opportunity to climb the iconic Lapham Peak tower—once for 5K and 10K participants, and twice for Half Marathoners, offering spectacular views. Aid stations will be strategically placed along the course, providing water, sports drinks, and energy gels, though participants should note this is a cupless race and bring their own hydration system.

Typical race day conditions in April offer comfortable running weather, with highs around 54F and lows near 34F, and only a 15% chance of precipitation. After conquering the course, celebrate your achievement with a refreshing post-race spread including a fresh fruit bar and unique recovery drinks like pickle juice, lemon water, and cucumber water. The Run From The Tax Man is more than just a race; it's a lighthearted, family-friendly trail adventure designed to create unforgettable memories and a refreshing break from the everyday.
