Camp Decorah is the origin of the Bluffland Traverse, a point-to-point route running from the northern end of La Crosse County to the southern end following the Mississippi River and the Bluffs that overlook it.
This race offers trail runs & mountain bike racing through a property with a northwoods feel located amongst the bluffs & rivers of the Driftless.
The race course loops through beautiful Camp Decorah, offering a blend of single track & double track trails and a trail run that meanders through majestic white pines. Expect gentle elevation changes as you wind through iconic summer camp sights.
Our spacious property will offer music, picnic tables, food options, port-a-potties, air-conditioned buildings, and on-site first aid. We invite you to relax and enjoy the property before and after your race.
