Race Information

This race symbolizes The Adrenaline Rush Series' commitment to healthy lifestyles. You'll be running on the Eisenbahn Trail, a former railroad corridor that's 25 miles long and extends from the historic city of West Bend into the scenic countryside of eastern Wisconsin past the glacial landscape of the Kettle Moraine State Forest. Eisenbahn is German for railroad.

The trail is surfaced with limestone screenings; however, racers will start and finish the event on 1.25 miles of paved asphalt. This is an out-and-back race on a relatively flat course. Participants will begin and end the race near downtown West Bend, Wisconsin. The Start/Finish Line is located behind the River Shores/Cast Iron residential community at 705 Village Green Way, West Bend. Half marathoners will turn around in Kewaskum, 1/4 marathoners and 5K run/walk participants will turn around north of West Bend.

Food will be available at the start/finish line. Trophies will be presented to the top finishers (except for the 5K run/walk participants). Medals will be awarded to the top 3 individuals in each age division for all races. Finisher medals and t-shirts will be provided to all, including 5K run/walk participants.
