Race For Open Space

Enjoy the fall colors on the beautiful rolling trails of the Cedar Lakes Conservation Foundation’s Fox Hill Nature Preserve in West Bend, Wisconsin. Help support the conservation of open space in the Cedar Lakes region by joining our 5K trail trail run, 10K trail run, or 1-mile trail walk through deciduous forest, restored prairieland, and glacial moraine. You may even see a sandhill crane in the prairie or a bald eagle flying overhead!

The Cedar Lakes Conservation Foundation (CLCF), a 501(c)(3) in West Bend, is one of the oldest land trusts in Wisconsin. All proceeds from this event benefit CLCF and its mission to conserve the natural environment of the Cedar Lakes region. Since 1974, CLCF has helped to protect over 3,000 acres of land, with a goal of reaching 3,600 acres by 2028. CLCF Preserves and Partner Preserves are free and open to the public for hiking and snowshoeing. For more information, visit our website. We hope to see you on the trails!

The course trails will wind through deciduous forest, restored prairieland, and glacial moraine. The course is not suitable for dogs or strollers.
