Twisted Roots

Twisted Roots is a trail running event at High Cliff State Park, near Sherwood, Wisconsin. The weekend features a half marathon and a full marathon traversing rugged single-track, rolling prairie, and scenic spans over Lake Winnebago, with views of the Niagara Escarpment and the Lime Kiln Ruins. Hosted by TYDISH Running, a female-owned organization focused on athletes, nature, and community, the event emphasizes a grassroots, park-friendly atmosphere.

Aid stations support runners along the routes, and the race is cupless—participants bring their own hydration carriers or reusable cups. A post-race pasta buffet welcomes finishers, with donations aiding Friends of High Cliff State Park. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
