New for 2024: A Rustic Trail 5k, and 5k Fun Run/Hike

The Calhoun County Trail Run is a 5k, 8k, and 20k that takes place on the beautiful Calhoun County Trail including both Bridge Park and Ott Biological Preserve for the 20k and Bridge Park for the 8k. The rolling hills and beautiful scenery, rock walls, and bridges make the run a must add to your fall line up. The trail is gravel surface and non-technical. The run will take place entirely on the trail, with a few street crossings. 

The 5k event is a true rustic trail run that consists of mixed landscape including rustic wooded trail with roots and uneven surfaces, grassy meadows, and gravel trail. This 3.1 mile route takes runners along the gravel Calhoun County Trail then enters a trail made specifically for the event mixed with portions of the North Country Trail.

We are doing our part in being good stewards of our community and working towards limiting waste. The Calhoun County Trail Run will be completely cup free. Water stations will be available to fill your own reusable cup or water supply. 

Proceeds benefit the Calhoun County Trails and Parks.

The event will start at end at the new and improved Kimball Pines Park. While the park had been underutilized for many years, a recent millages have funded a complete transformation of the park!
