Why you dream of this race

THE DREAM

About Adrenaline Races — what makes it special

ABOUT THE RACE

A day you'll remember,
long past the finish line.

It is held on the Eisenbahn Trail, built on a decommissioned rail line.

Starting from historic downtown West Bend,

the 25-mile route passes through the glacial terrain of the Kettle Moraine State Forest and into the eastern Wisconsin countryside.

"Eisenbahn" is German for railroad.

The road to your own record

Picture the course in advance
and find the pace that fits you.

When the city cheers

Streets lined with cheers, runners all around.
You'll be part of that scene.

The trip that follows the run

Take it slow with the finish still in you,
and meet the city all over again.

READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

September in West Bend — an average of 17°C, a good temperature for chasing a personal best.

Your body temperature can drop quickly while waiting at the start, so wear a disposable outer layer and remove it just before the start.

Public transportation does not reach the race venue.

The only realistic options are driving or a rental car.

Registration is handled through the RunSignup platform.

Full marathon truly begins after 30 km.

For a stronger finish, it is better to pass the halfway point 5–10 seconds slower than your target pace, and start taking gels early, before you feel hungry.

The 07:00 start is early.

Counting backward from your wake-up time, breakfast, and travel, staying close to start line the night before is more convenient.

Registration closes on September 20, 2026.

Times are local to West Bend. Check the latest official information before the race.
