About the Event

Experience the untamed beauty and rugged terrain at Camp Manitou-Lin on September 12, 2026. This race offers both long-distance enthusiasts and casual riders an unforgettable adventure through the heart of Yankee Springs Recreation Area and Barry County.
The event kicks off with a scenic 5-mile lead-out primarily on gravel roads, setting the stage for what's to come. Participants then tackle the challenging 18 miles of Barry County’s renowned gravel roads and Audobon Sanctuary scenery. For those aiming for the full distance, an additional 4 miles of Deep Lake singletrack await (though this section is skipped by racers in the shorter event).
The highlight comes when you weave through the legendary Sager & Shaw two-tracks—a notorious segment that adds to the race's allure and difficulty. Racers opting for the longer route will find a different return path via the rugged Norris two-track, ensuring no two experiences are alike.
End your journey with 5 miles of mostly gravel roads, where you can push yourself towards victory in a chip-timed competition. Wave starts based on historical performance ensure a fair and competitive environment reminiscent of events like IceMan.
Whether you choose to run the full 19 miles or stick to the shorter 37-mile route, you'll be rewarded with stunning views and challenging trails that will test your limits. Gear prizes and trophies await the victors, adding an extra layer of excitement.
For a taste of adventure suitable for all ages, kids can participate in a free 10-minute race looped near their parents' sightlines, ensuring safety and fun for everyone involved.
