Huge thanks to everyone who came out for the Northern Trails Trail Race this weekend! From runners, hikers, and ruckers alike, you made it a really special day on the trails.

The race went incredibly well, and that’s because of this community. The energy, encouragement, and support out on the course is what makes this event what it is.

A big thank you as well to our volunteers who spent their morning helping with check-in, guiding runners on course, handing out water, and cheering people in at the finish. We truly couldn’t do it without you.

And of course, congratulations to our overall winners in each distance. Incredible performances all around. Feel free to drop them some love in the comments 👏

Whether you were racing for a PR, tackling your first trail race, rucking the course, or simply out to enjoy the miles and the woods, we’re grateful you chose to spend your morning with us. We hope you had as much fun out there as we did. 🌲🏃‍♂️

"So the trails are mostly dry. There are low, muddy, slick spots, mostly on the Bill Craft trail." - Race Director Becky

Alright so what's a little mud on a spring trail run? Actually we're pretty sure mud is required in order for it to count as a trail run!

Thank you Becky for checking on the course conditions for us!
