Run From The Tax Man

Run From The Tax Man

Feeling the weight of tax season? Shake it off and hit the trails with us at the Run From The Tax Man! This lighthearted, fun run is the perfect way to escape the stress, outrun the paperwork, and enjoy some fresh air with fellow "tax fugitives." Let’s be honest—at least once in life, everyone dreams of running from the tax man! Why not do it figuratively at Run From the Tax Man?

About the Course: Lapham Peak offers one of the most challenging courses in the Wisconsin Trail Assail Series. It’s not as tough as writing that check on April 15th—but it’s close! 😉 This hilly and technical course features:

• Rocky and sandy areas
• Dirt trails, tree roots, and washouts
• Plenty of hills to conquer

Despite the challenges, it’s a spectacular course that we’re sure you’ll love! And don’t worry—it’s still accessible for new trail runners, ruckers and walkers. So grab your running shoes, clear your mind, and join us for a run that’s tax-free and full of fun. Because nothing feels better than running away from the Tax Man!

Location: Lapham Peak State Park W329 N846 County Rd C Delafield, WI US 53018
