The race course
The race is held in Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. The majority of the course is on Midwest iconic Ice Age Trail. This is a 1,000 mile footpath contained entirely within the state of Wisconsin. This trail is highly supported by the Ice Age Trail Alliance. We suggest heading over to their website to learn more.
The trail is one of the only 11 National Scenic Trails in the country. Ancient glaciers carved the path through rocky terrain, open prairies, and peaceful forests.
The Race Course
Aid station information on link
There is work being done on our race course at moment. They do not know if they will have it complete by the day of the race. If it is not done we will use the re-route course around the work. It will make the 100k slightly longer if we need to use the re-route. We will update the spreadsheets close to race day if they do not complete the work.
Note- We do not have a 50 mile planned for 2022. We have it mapped on aid station link below.
Race elevation:
100 mile- approximately 6700 feet
100k= approximately 4300 feet
Due to the remoteness of this race course. We are requiring you download the gpx file as a safety measure to help you get back on course if you were to take a wrong turn. Be sure to know how to use this before arriving on race day.
