An 80 mile relay from Cable, Wisconsin, winding through the Chequamegon National Forest and finishing on the shores of Chequamegon Bay in Ashland, Wisconsin.
We invite you to participate in this unique event. Efforts have been made to create a memorable experience for all participants. The CWWR allows runners capable of completing 5K, the opportunity to participate in a long distance event. Advanced runners are similarly challenged, providing an opportunity for runners of different skills to combine their efforts on the same team.
The relay team consists of 8 runners, with each completing three segments of approximately 5K length. Runner 1 runs the first leg and passes the baton to runner 2 who runs and passes the baton to runner 3 and so on. Runner 8 hands off to runner 1 and the sequence continues through the end of the race. The emphasis on team effort creates a sense of camaraderie unique to this type of event.
Beginning in Cable, Wisconsin, the course travels through rolling woodlands around Lake Owen. Runners continue on into the Chequamegon National Forest meandering past forest lakes and northward into the forest highlands. The course is generally rolling with a few more challenging hills. Most of the route is paved or gravel roadway with the exception of the tri-county limestone corridor and a 7-mile section of Forest Service trail. The race then follows the Chequamegon Bay shore and finishes inside the Ashland Bay Area Civic Center, 320 4th Ave West.
Race starts in Cable, Wisconsin and Finishes in Ashland, WI.
