Experience the beauty of La Crosse's Hixon Forest in your choice of four distances |
We're excited to be able to present the seventh annual Hixon 50, now a 5k, 10k, 25k and 50k race through La Crosse's lush Hixon forest, nestled in the middle of bluff country. Enjoy views of the Mississippi River Valley from over 600 feet up in the air while tackling a challenging course in whichever distance you choose.

The Race within a Race:
Kwik Trip Klimb (25k and 50k ONLY) |
The Kwik Trip Klimb is an all day running time trial from the bottom of the bluff to the finish. It features approximately 500 ft of climbing on technical trail to finish the race. The Klimb features a prize for the top overall male and female for the entire day across both distances. 25k racers are coming in hot to the finish, but 50k racers get two shots at it. Who will Klimb the fastest!

Race Location |
The race starts and finishes on top of the bluffs at the Human Powered Trails on Cty. Rd. FA. When in doubt, look for the big white weather ball on the top, this is our home base! Parking will be on the street near the main parking lot. (See map below for details)
