The Whitewater Trail Challenge follows the Ice Age Trail -- a 1,200 mile footpath that traverses Wisconsin and is designed to showcase the lasting impact of ice age glaciers on the landscape of the
state. One of only eleven National Scenic Trails, it is an iconic route covering vast and diverse natural areas, and is a longstanding magnet for hikers and runners. The trails vary from smooth and well-maintained to extremely technical, and because the route is a patchwork of connected segments, the footing can change quickly! The Spartan Whitewater trail challenge course covers a small but scenic portion of the trail – an out and back from Rice Lake near the town of Whitewater – but with this taste of what the Ice Age Trail has to offer our racers will be tempted to keep exploring!

Come “Rock ‘n’ Run” with us to raise funds for Music for the Ages AND Cardio Kidz, two local non-profit organizations in the community with aligned missions!
Music for the Ages conducts
intergenerational music events at senior living homes for seniors and young children.
Cardio Kidz supports the physical, social, and emotional growth of children, of all abilities, in a positive community-focused athletic environment.
Both organizations promote positivity, kindness, inclusivity and social-emotional health! Help us raise awareness and generate funds that will support both of these incredible and inspiring missions!
How it works? Participants (Kids ages 1-6) pick a goal they are committed to raise. You can create your own message or use ours to share with grandparents, aunts/uncles, neighbors etc. Kids will receive prizes based on their fundraising level!
Fundraising fee includes: The child's entry fee for the "Rock 'n' Run" activities, a free vanilla or chocolate soft-serve ice cream cup with sprinkles from Family Ice Cream Truck, prizes (vary based on level) and a concert by the one and only Miss Jamie on the Farm (a local music celeb with the littles)!
Multiple kids ages 1-6 who would like to participate? Please register them individually so they each have their own fundraising goal and link and get to enjoy the program fully. Adults and older siblings watching are no charge.
We are so excited for our very first fundraiser and can't wait to have you be a part of it!!
