Twisted Roots

Twisted Roots is a trail running event held at High Cliff State Park in Sherwood, Wisconsin, featuring both half marathon and full marathon distances. Set against the scenic backdrop of Lake Winnebago and the Niagara Escarpment's majestic cliffs, runners experience a mix of technical single tracks and rolling prairie sections, with views of historical Lime Kiln Ruins. The event emphasizes a grassroots, nature-focused atmosphere, promoting trail etiquette as some paths are shared with mountain bikers and horse riders.

It is a cupless race with aid stations offering hydration and snacks. Post-race, a pasta buffet is provided. The event supports local conservation efforts through donations to the Friends of High Cliff State Park. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
