We are pleased to announce the introduction of a new trail running event: The Aldo Leopold Half Marathon & 6K. The tentative date is set for October 25, 2008.

Devil's Lake State Park in Baraboo, Wisconsin, with its radically beautiful terrain will provide the venue. Great Lakes Endurance is working in conjunction with the {rokbox size=|775 400| text=|Aldo Leopold Foundation|}http://www.aldoleopold.org/{/rokbox} in Baraboo to coordinate the event. The Aldo Leopold Foundation's new headquarters was just awarded the Greenest Building on the Planet Award by the U.S. Green Building Council. The new trail run will raise money for environmental education efforts at the Aldo Leopold Foundation. We are also planning a local foods cookout, similar to the Navarino event, but with food supplied by farmers in the Baraboo area. The event will also feature tours of the Foundation's new green building. It is truly an extraordinary place. Registration for the event will open soon.
