The race will be begin at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday June 6 and each runner will have exactly one hour to complete the 4.2 mile loop. If a runner fails to return within the hour, they are eliminated from the race. Runners can complete the course at whatever pace they choose, but they MUST finish the race and be ready to start the next race within 60 minutes. A new 4.2 mile race will begin every hour on the hour (10:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m. and so on…) until only one runner is left standing.

June is Wisconsin's reward for surviving the blustery winter months and the gray muddy days of spring and there is no better way to commemorate the start of green and warmth than a run in the woods. The Coureurs de Bois Trail Run and Relay (which means to run in the woods), is a celebration of the start of summer. Taking place in Petrifying Springs Park, in Kenosha, this trail event is perfect for all fitness levels. The event distances of 4, 8, 12, or 16 miles individual events or a 16 mile 2-person relay will fit all athletes, from those who soldiered through winter training to those who snuggled in and waited winter out. The course is a 4-mile loop that starts in a wide grassy area and leads you to the single track trails that meander through the woods within the Petrifying Springs and UW Parkside. The hardwood forest provides the perfect distraction from the rolling hills and possible short steep climbs (depending on the mood of the race director). The optional chilly river crossing will serve as the reminder of the iciness of winter the promise of warmer days to come. For those that enjoy running or walking with their dog, this is a dog-friendly event. There will not, however, be a separate CaniCross division.
