Held annually each November at Nashotah Park in Wisconsin, the Bucks & Does 13.1 Pointer offers runners a chance to tackle trail races across four distances: a 5K, 10K, half marathon, and a fun Bambi Run designed for kids. The course winds through picturesque wood-chip and grassy paths, providing a peaceful, shaded environment that highlights the natural beauty of the area and occasional wildlife sightings. Known for its friendly community vibe and unique buck-themed wooden “woodle” medals, this event encourages runners of all ages and abilities to connect with nature and challenge themselves. Participants enjoy aid stations along the way and post-race treats like hot chocolate, making it a festive fall tradition for families and athletes alike.
