Fall into Fall Trail 5k

Fall into Fall Trail 5k is held in Janesville, Wisconsin, on October 3, 2026. Two events start together at 9:00 AM: the trail 5K (3.1 miles) and the Fall Into Fall Trail Walk, a 3.9 km (2.4-mile) walking option. The whole program is short enough to wrap up before lunch.

The walk makes this an easy event to share with family or friends who do not run, while the 5K is a good first trail race or a low-key fall outing for experienced runners. On trails, a 5K takes a bit longer than on the road because of the footing and the small hills, so judge your pace by effort rather than by your usual road splits. If you are starting from scratch, six to eight weeks of run-walk training, three sessions a week, will get you comfortably to the finish. Regular runners can use the race as a hard, short effort, and early October in Wisconsin normally offers cool, pleasant temperatures for it.
