Tour de Dodge

The Driftless Trail Collective proudly presents the fourth annual Tour de Dodge, a premier trail running event on Saturday, March 7, 2026, at the scenic Governor Dodge State Park in southwestern Wisconsin's Driftless Area. This challenging race features three distances: a 50K ultra starting at 7:00 AM with approximately 4,000 feet of elevation gain and a 9-hour cut-off, a 27K run beginning at 9:00 AM with 2,500 feet of elevation gain and a 7-hour cut-off, and a 10K race at 10:30 AM featuring 900 feet of elevation gain with no time limit. Runners can expect fully stocked aid stations, portable bathrooms, and traditional race fare including water, soda, snacks, and fruit along the courses. Participants are encouraged to wear blaze orange or high-visibility gear due to the event coinciding with turkey hunting season. Packet pick-up opens one hour before each race, with pre-race announcements shortly before the start times. The event embraces a joyful, supportive, and inclusive atmosphere rain, snow, or shine, with proceeds benefiting Friends of Governor Dodge and the Driftless Area Land Conservancy. All finishers receive a custom DTC Silo shoe bag and the beloved race-director-made horseshoe medal, with top three finishers in each gender category awarded customized medals celebrating their achievement. Join us for an unforgettable trail running experience highlighting the natural beauty and rugged terrain of Governor Dodge State Park.
