QUAD details

· 6-1/2 mile Run, 3-1/4 mile Power Walk, 15 mile Bike Ride, 5-1/2 mile Horse Ride. Course Map

· Medal Awards for the top 10 teams.

· Each team member will receive a WIOUWASH Quad Finisher T-Shirt.

· All entrance fees, proceeds from The Quad, and the Silent Auction will be donated to The Town of Clayton Trail Fund to be used to construct a multi-modal recreational trail along the new Highway 10. This link of the Friendship Trail will intersect with the WIOUWASH and local Fox Valley trails. It will eventually help connect Manitowoc to Stevens Point. Construction of the Friendship Trail within the Town of Clayton will be expensive. Along with the six mile segment of the trail itself, a box tunnel under Highway 45 and railroad crossing lights and grades are required for safety.

THE RUN/POWER WALK/BIKE LEGS will be flat and fast on the beautiful WIOUWASH Trail. The WIOUWASH Trail will be closed to the public. Race participants will have the convenience of start line, finish line, and pre-race activities in the same area. They will be treated to beautiful scenery, enthusiastic volunteers, and small town hospitality. Runners will turn back at Breezewood Lane, power walkers will turn back at Hillcrest, and bikers will ride to Brooks Road before turning back and tagging their horse rider in front of Larsen Co-op. WIOUWASH QUAD course marshals will be along the trail and will assess time penalties for any walkers observed running; penalties will not exceed 30 minutes and are at the course marshal’s discretion. Those decisions will be final.

Helmets are recommended for all bike riders, and required for any racer 17 years of age and under.

THE EQUINE LEG will be a one way loop using the WIOUWASH Trail, a field lane and 1 ½ miles of roads. The WIOUWASH Trail will be closed to the public and the roads will have one lane closed to traffic. The 5 ½ mile course is flat, with 3 cement bridges and 2 miles of “no-run” zones. These zones are at the beginning, middle, and end. “No-run” means walking and trotting only- no cantering. The horse riders will be the last leg of the relay. They will start from the Larsen Co-op lumber/feed mill parking lot and finish at Trail Head Park. SAFETY FIRST! Ride to the right of the trail and if you pass horses - do so on the left and announce your intentions to the rider ahead of you. Be courteous and safe. Unsafe riding will not be tolerated! If you or your horse requires help - ask a WIOUWASH QUAD course marshal. WIOUWASH QUAD course marshals will be along the trail and will assess time penalties for horses observed cantering in “no-run” zones; penalties will not exceed 30 minutes and are at the course marshal’s discretion. Those decisions will be final.

Helmets are recommended for all horse riders, and required for any racer 17 years of age and under.
