Course
Rugged singletrack with rolling hills through Yankee Springs, plus the river crossing the race is built around. Runners who want to stay dry can take a quarter mile detour instead. Snow, slush, ice and mud are all in play, sometimes in the same lap of conditions.
Race-day weather
Late February in west Michigan is cold and variable, with lake effect snow a real possibility. A wet river crossing in freezing air makes dry layers at the finish more important than usual.
