Overview
Course Description
And the fun doesn’t end there! Race directors are now offering a redesigned nostalgic course that will take you through the demanding and challenging, yet beautifully rewarding terrain that the old Tecumseh Trail is known for. As you navigate through the winding trails, you’ll encounter aid stations at Dam and Marlett Rd, with access to porta-potties and refreshing drinks to keep you going. The finish line will be a welcome sight, located in the grassy field of the Yellowwood Group Camp area. But the challenge isn’t just about the race – it’s about the entire experience. Festival-style camping is available at the race site, with 74 “primitive” developed sites just a mile south of the race start.
