Pen Park Trails Fest
Pen Park Trails Fest is a trail running event held at Peninsula State Park in Fish Creek, Wisconsin. Scheduled for November 8, 2025, it offers two race distances: a challenging 30K and a moderately difficult 14K. The 30K course features scenic gravel paths and rugged single-track trails, including multiple climbs and descents along the Niagara escarpment, with highlights such as Sven's and Eagle Bluff.
The 14K course shares some of these trails but is less demanding, still incorporating notable climbs and descents. Both races start and finish at Welcker's Point Shelter, where participants enjoy food, beverages, and post-race refreshments including beer. Runners receive a race hoodie, completion medal, and course support.
The event supports trail maintenance through contributions to Friends of Peninsula State Park. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
