COURSE OVERVIEW
The race takes place at Briggs Outdoors, offering steep climbs, expansive prairies, and shaded single-track trails through the unique bluffs of Southeast Minnesota's Driftless Region.
The 10k+ loop will take you up two epic bluff climbs, a scenic valley, and a crossing of Cedar Creek. This hidden gem is the most unique race in the series since it is held on private land and the route only exists for this race!
Multiple loops of this 10k+ course will get you to 21k, 30k, and 43k distance.
Our 5k course will challenge you with one of the epic bluff climbs and plenty of fast double and single-track valleys.
