Caveman 5K Adventure Run

Welcome to the 2nd annual Caveman Adventure Run!  Our course utilizes the trails at the Ledgeview Center into a quarry, up a 60ft. observation tower, into a cave system, and other fun obstacles.  All abilities welcome! 

New for 2019:

Create or Join a Team (5K only)!  The bigger the team, the more you save (up to 5 members).  Short Course Fun Run (approximately 2.5 K or half the distance of the 5K)

Race Bib Pick-Up and Registration will be held at the Ledgeview Nature Center on Friday, May 10th from 4:00pm-6:00pm and Saturday, May 11th from 8:00am-9:30am for the 5K and 8:00am-10:00 for the Short Course.  You will receive your race bib, a shirt (if you registered by April 25th), and a reusable grocery bag.  

NO RACEDAY REGISTRATION.  

Bag Check-in
We are offering a bag check-in for extra clothes and personal items.  Anticipate getting wet.  You can use the same bag that you will receive when you pick up your race bib.  Your bib has a tear-off number that we'll use to identify your bag.   

Shuttle and Parking
There is VERY limited parking at the Ledgeview Nature Center and the parking lot will not be available for participants on raceday.  Short Road is narrow and vehicles will be allowed to park only on one side of the road.  Your best bet is to utilize our Free Continuous Shuttle Bus.   Park at the Get Reel Chilton Twilight Drive-In Theater,  1255 E Chestnut St, Chilton, WI 53014, then sit back and relax as you make the 2 mile trip to the Nature Center.  Shuttle hours will be: 8:00am-1:00pm

Last year we had more than 200 registered participants plus spectators.  Please plan accordingly so you don't miss that start of the race (5K 10am, Short Course 10:30am)

We encourage Caveman, Cavewoman, and Cavekid costumes!  A costume contest will take place at the Start Line prior to runners taking off!

XM Timing is back to track your time from start to finish.  We encourage the faster runners to stage themselves near the front of the start line. Please no pets or strollers on the course.  Last year only 5% of our participants finished under 30 minutes and 29% were on the course after the 1 hour mark.  And that is why we added a Shorter option....

The new Short-Course Fun Run is approximately 1/2 the distance or 2.5K.  Participants will run/walk trails to the cave system and to the fun trail obstacles before crossing the finish line. 

The tower, cave, and fun trail obstacles are spaced apart to help minimize bottle-necking.  With that said, there are some tight spaces on the course.  Please stay on the the right side of the stairs going up and down the tower.  The cave and fun trail both contain obstacles that require you to crawl on your hands and knees.  Please be patient at these points in the race as there is plenty of trail running on the course to make up time and pass other runners.  

Participants may choose to bypass obstacles, but won't be eligible to win a First Place Award.

Post Race
Everyone will receive finisher medals. 

Awards

Team members must stay together and complete the full course without skipping obstacles in order to be eligible for awards.
