2027 Badgerland 24, 12 & 6 Hour Run

Race Information

Runners will be gathering at Lapham Peak State Park to see how many miles they can cover within the selected 24-, 12-, or 6-hour divisions. The 6/12-hour races have day or night options. There is also the "Distance" division, for runners who want to cover a certain distance (such as a marathon, 50K, 50 miles, etc.), but feel they may need more time than the 6 or 12 hours. Join to see how FAR you can go! Proceeds from the race benefit the Friends of Lapham Peak for trail and facility improvements in the park.
