So it is official. We are running the red course for race day! It will start at the lodge and head out on the trail. Follow all red trail marking and course tape. We will run the creek trail as well. Once you hit the connector trail you will make a right and follow red back down the trail and back to the infield on each lap. It will be approx a 8 mile loop.

Endurance racers will ride 5 or 6 laps depending if you are racing 40 or 48 miles. See how that works? And you thought math would never help you in real life.

See you Saturday with 8am race number pickup. First races go off at 9am for endurance. Cross country racers at 9:30.

With two days left to register we have seen a pretty good increase in racer numbers! If you are planning to race please sign up! We will be setting up and prepping the course tonight. With the construction on the base of the hill at the trail entrance we will be looping over to the triple and across the base of the mountain to complete each loop. We will post more once we have everything set up.
Number pickup will be a 8am Saturday morning. Located between the buildings unless the weather pushes us inside the main lodge.

Due to the lack of interest in the July 25th running of a time trial we are cancelling the event. We have already refunded everyone who registered, including the processing fees, but please be patient to allow for the credit to post to your bank account. Although I do not feel that it is time to run mass start events yet there is a race in Manistee that same day.
Once we feel that it is responsible to run events with mass starts we will host a Battle at the Burg! Unfortunately just bc we are allowed to run them does not mean that we should. Safety of the racers and the community are our biggest concerns.
