Pro tips

  1. 01

    Ballot and Trailhead

    Entry is by ballot, and the start/finish area is at Nordic Trailhead in the Southern Unit of Kettle Moraine Forest. Plan registration and race-day logistics around both.

    Incessant Hills

    The course tops numerous hills; none are extremely long or overly steep, but they are incessant. Run by effort and avoid hammering every rise.

  3. 03

    Rough Single-Track

    The terrain is mostly single-track dirt, rocky, and tree-rooted trail through pinewoods, hardwood forests, and rolling prairie. Keep your eyes on the trail and shorten your stride on rough sections.
