Blue Mound Trail Run

2026 TRAIL RUN

3/29/2026

Registration for the Blue Mound Trail Run is officially open! Join us for a beautiful and challenging run through Blue Mound State Park, with both 10K and 18K options featuring scenic trails, climbs, and rewarding views.

This year also marks a meaningful transition for the event. The race was founded in 2004 by Willi, who, along with the dedicated volunteers he has recruited along the way, has been the heart and driving force behind it ever since. While Willi is still very much involved, he is beginning the process of passing the torch to a new organizing team.

The race will continue to be hosted by Friends of Blue Mound State Park, and participants should not expect any major changes this year, aside from updated contact information. For any questions, please reach out to us at trailrun@friendsofbluemound.org.

We’re excited to carry this tradition forward and hope to see you on the trails!

If you can't wait til June for your trail run fix, check out the Donald Dash on May 2, which kicks off the Savanna Series trail runs for 2026.

Happy trails!
