Hydration Stations Are Back for 2026

We exist because you run, bike, and walk!

Our 2026 Hydration Station season is underway! Every Saturday morning, volunteers from Fleet Feet Fox Valley, Fox Cities Marathon, and our community are out supporting local runners, walkers, and cyclists while helping collect valuable trail usage data.

2026 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 may close early for volunteer safety.

Our Locations

You can find us at four locations throughout the Fox Valley:

1. Apple Creek Trail – Ballard Rd. Entrance, Appleton
2. Apple Creek Trail – French Rd. Intersection, Appleton
3. Newberry Trail – Down from the Banta Bowl, under the College Ave. overpass, Appleton
4. The Wharf – Off the Mill St. entrance, Little Chute

Supporting Our Community

These hydration stations are presented in collaboration with Fox Cities Marathon and the Appleton & Little Chute Parks & Recreation Departments.

In addition to providing a place to grab a drink and refuel, our volunteers collect valuable trail usage data. This information has helped our community secure thousands of dollars in grants for local trail improvements.

Thank You to Our 2026 Volunteers!

Our hydration stations wouldn’t be possible without the amazing volunteers who give their time each Saturday morning. We are so grateful for everyone who has helped make the 2026 season a success!

Interested in volunteering next year?

Our 2026 volunteer registration is now closed, but we’d love to have you join us for the 2027 season!

Stay tuned for 2027 volunteer opportunities and training information.

Thank You to Our Sponsors & Partners
