2025 Black River Trail Classic

Super Duper Harvest Moon! 🌕

Fall is just around the corner, and that means race day in the Black River State Forest is getting close! 🍂 The forest will be showing off its best colors, and whether you’re chasing a PR or soaking it all in, this year is shaping up to be unforgettable.

Kick-off to Race Day! 🏈 📅

We’re basically a month away from the start line! Now is the perfect time to fine-tune your long runs, double-check your gear, and picture yourself cruising through the forest. The Black River Trail Classic isn’t just a race; it’s an adventure through some of the most butter trails in Wisconsin. I've always wanted to say, "butter trails". Every run between now and October 18 brings you one step closer to that finish line. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Trail Tips & Prep 🥾

October weather can be unpredictable, so be ready for cool mornings, warm afternoons, and everything in between. Practice with your race nutrition now so there are no surprises on course.

Race Guide Ready! 📓

The 2025 race guide is now available! Inside you’ll find course maps, aid station details, cutoff times, and more. You can download it from the BRTC details page or directly at this link. Give it a read so you’re fully ready when race day arrives. 😄

See You Soon! 🌲

October 18 is almost here, and we can’t wait to welcome you to the Black River State Forest. Get ready for the camaraderie, the challenge, and the thrill of running wild through the forest. It’s going to be an incredible day!

Thanks!! 🙏
