event.** Snow Plan Because the planned route utilizes an active snowmobile trail with limited access points, winter conditions significantly reduce our ability to reach participants in certain sections of the course. Snow cover further restricts emergency access, vehicle mobility, and volunteer support.With participant safety as our top priority, any impactful snow accumulation on the ground will trigger a course pivot to a more accessible and support-friendly route.Alternate CourseIn the event of snow, the race will shift to an approximately 8-mile loop with reliable access for emergency response, aid, and runner support.- 50K = 4 loops- 25K = 2 loops- 15K = 1 loopAid & Support- Cox Hollow Aid Station: Located mid-loop with full support- Twin Valley Aid Station (Start/Finish/Split): Full support, timing, and drop-bag access.This contingency ensures we maintain a safe, well-supported race experience while still delivering a scenic and challenging trail event, even in winter conditions.

Awards Top 3 Male & Females in each distance and the top overall Non-Binary finisher in each distance will receive an award.Age group positions will be listed on the results but there will be no age group awards. We like to do things a little differently and opt to keep entry fees reasonable and invest in the experiences throughout the event that everyone can enjoy.

Waitlist We’ve reached capacity for the 2026 Queen of the Ridge. If you’re still hoping to participate, you’re welcome to join the waitlist.In the weeks leading up to the event, we typically see a few spots open up due to injuries, schedule changes, or other conflicts. If a cancellation occurs, we’ll send an invitation to waitlisted runners on a first-come, first-served basis.Please note that joining the waitlist does not guarantee a spot. There is no charge to join, and you won’t be charged unless you’re invited off the waitlist and choose to accept. You’ll have 48 hours to accept your invitation before we move on to the next person. Queen of the Ridge Queen of the Ridge is a femininonemon! Yes, you heard that right. This race is for the ladies! Grab your gal pals and your trail shoes, because we are getting the girls together for our second annual LAST WOMAN STANDING race. We will be using the same loop and rules as our spring race, Rumble on the Ridge, which is a take on the traditional

backyard ultra. Runners will complete a 1-"ish" mile loop every 20 minutes, until only one powerful female remains. This event takes place on an old family dairy farm just 40 minutes west of Madison, WI in the heart of the Driftless Area, and is very near and dear to RD Kelly's heart <3 The course:1. The loop is usually between 1.0 and 1.25 miles long, and will have a minimum of 250ft of elevation gain. 2. A combination of single track and grass trails3. The route changes directions every 4 hours! Gather your girlfriends and bring your A-game. Every queen who toes the line proves she's unstoppable, but only one woman will outlast the hills of the Driftless. This isn't just a race - it's a rising. Long live the last woman standing. Date and Location Saturday, September 26, 20266:30-7:45am: Check in8:00am: The Trail Promenade Commences (aka we start running!) Location:5749 County Road HArena, WI 53503This is the family farm that race director Kelly grew up on! We are so grateful to be able to

share this piece of the Driftless with you all, and to be able to host another event on the farm, especially nearing harvest season! Royalty Rules It's a twist on the traditional backyard event! That means the rules are slightly different!1. You have 20 minutes to complete each loop. Runners coming in after the 20 minute limit will be eliminated.2. You must be in the starting corral at the start of the next loop when the cowbell rings. (Crew tents and restrooms do NOT count as the starting corral). 3. Whistle blows will alert runners how many minutes until the next lap starts. 3 whistles for 3 minutes, 2 whistles for 2 minutes, 1 whistle for one minute until the next lap starts. 4. No aid to be received on course or outside of the corral. 5. A winner will be declared when there is only one person left who has successfully completed all laps in under 20 minutes. 6. A solo victory lap must be completed to earn the title of Queen of the Ridge. 7. Last but not least, be respectful of each other

and let's have some FUN!!! The Commonwealth Village This is what we are calling our basecamp for the weekend. The Commonwealth Village will have our starting corral, participant tent, crew tents, aid station, medical tent, restrooms, and spectator viewing (yes, men are allowed to cheer us on!). We will have space for a maximum of 20 crew tents, which participants must opt in for at registration and are a first-come, first-serve basis. There will be a large tent set up for runners to place their drop bags, a chair, and a smaller cooler if you choose not to bring a crew tent. Our aid station will have fruit, sweet and salty snacks, carbs, hot food, hydration and nutrition products, as well as coffee and soda. Spectator viewing, yard games, and possibility for a campfire will also be in the Commonwealth Village! Camping/Lodging There are several great camping venues within 20-30 minutes of the farm if you choose to camp the night before, including: Governor Dodge State Park, Blue Mounds State

Park, Tower Hill State Park, Brigham County Park, Trader's Island Campground, Tom's Campground, Wisconsin Riverside Resort. If you prefer a hotel for lodging, there is Deer Valley Lodge, The House on the Rock Resort, Spring Valley Inn, Round Barn Lodge, The Birdhouse Inn, and several other hotels and B&Bs in the Spring Green/Dodgeville areas. Camping will be allowed overnight on SATURDAY ONLY for participants. Tents or small camper vans will be accepted. Please no RVs or pull behinds, as this is a private residence and there are no hookups, waste disposal, or space for parking campers. The Driftless Trail Driftless Endurance, along with all participant donations, will donate $0.10 for every lap completed during the event to the planning and building of the Driftless Trail. The Driftless Area Land Conservancy (DALC) is leading this project to build the Driftless Trail which is a planned 50-mile loop that connects Tower Hill, Governor Dodge, and Blue Mounds State Parks. This is a foot-only

trail, to be used for hiking, running, snowshoeing, or cross country skiing wandering through the woods, prairies, farms, bluffs and streams of Iowa County’s Driftless landscape.More information on this project can be found on the DALC website. https://www.driftlessconservancy.org/driftless-trail Refund / Pregnancy / Postpartum Policies Our typical refund policy is that once you are registered for one of our races, registration is final. We understand that life happens, schedules may change, and injuries/illnesses do occur. Please understand that race entries cover various operational expenses prior to race day, which is why we will typically offer a partial refund if we are notified at least 60-days in advance of the race. However! Special to this race only, should you become pregnant in the months/weeks leading up to this event, we will honor and fully refund your registration (as long as we get naming dibs...joking!) if you choose not to participate this year.
