The toughest 5 mile loop you will find in the Midwest. You can run it once or twice, depending on how much time you want to suffer!
Jeff Lenard has designed this trail race course. His goal is to make you cry! Jeff says, “you thought Frozen Gnome was a tough course….”phew”…..that course is easy compared to this! I fully expect runners to swear my name after this race!”
The course is a generous 5 and 10 miles but we don’t charge any extra for the bonus mileage. You can thank us later. As an additional bonus, once you pickup your packet you will have a very nice 15-20 minute stroll to the starting line. We don’t charge for the warmup stroll either, that is entirely free.
