Description

Join us Sat. Sept. 24, 2022 for the 8th annual Run for the Trails. Proceeds from this event go to the Run for the Trails fund which will be used to create & maintain a recreational trail system throughout the Oconto Falls area. Events include a timed 1/2 Marathon run, 10K run/walk and 5K run/walk through beautiful Oconto Falls. The course will be well marked with course markers and cones, well supported and most of all fun!  The 1/2 Marathon and 10K will take advantage of our beautiful area wooded trails, scenic neighborhoods and waterfront views. Participants in all events will travel on the new high school trail created thanks to generous donors and proceeds from the past Run for the Trails races!
