Anything goes for weather in March in Wisconsin! Be prepared for sun, rain, snow, or all of the above. Average temps at the beginning of March tend to be highs in the 40s and lows in the 20s. Trails conditions are very weather dependent in March, snow and ice can linger. Prepare accordingly.

Rules
We have a few rules/requirements for our races that sort of go without saying… but you can and should read them anyway.

Diversity/Equity/Inclusion
The Driftless Trail Collective welcomes everyone to our events and into the broader trail running community as a whole. You are welcome and valued here regardless of your race, gender, sexual identity, orientation or preference, religious, spiritual, or political beliefs, socioeconomic status, age, or how slow or fast your run. We treat everyone with respect and dignity and expect all participants in DTC events to do the same.

Transgender entrants can register to compete as either male or female with no restrictions.
