Hydration Stations Saturdays

 Hydration Stations Are Back for 2026

We exist because you run, bike, and walk!

Schedule

Saturdays • 6:30 AM–10:30 AM
June 6 – September 12, 2026

Rain or shine - we’re there for you (If conditions become unsafe, stations will close early for volunteer safety).

Locations

1. Apple Creek Trail (Ballard Rd. Entrance in Appleton)

2. Apple Creek Trail (French Rd. Intersection in Appleton)

3. Newberry Trail (down from the Banta Bowl, under College Ave. overpass, in Appleton)

4. The Wharf (off the Mill St. Entrance, in Little Chute)

Our Partnership

These stations are presented in collaboration with Fox Cities Marathon and the Appleton & Little Chute Parks & Recreation Departments. Volunteers collect trail‐usage data that has helped secure thousands of dollars in grants for local trail improvements.

Volunteer with Us!

We need more hands on deck - whether you’re a runner, walker, or cyclist, your support makes a difference!

Volunteers are required to complete an orientation/training session so that we go through the materials and make sure everyone is collecting Trail Usage Data consistently. Upon completion of three (3) hydration stations shifts, volunteers earn a certificate for a FREE pair of Asics shoes ($120 - $150) value.

New volunteers will be expected to attend a 1-hour in-person station training on either Thursday, May 21 OR Wednesday, May 27 at 6PM at the store.
