Race Information
The 30K, 50K, and 50 Mile individual events are on Pure Michigan, runnable single track, gnarly trails! To celebrate 30 YEARS IN THE DIRT RF Events are offering a 30K race for one year only! You won’t be disappointed. Expect to be scratched, muddied and bruised by the beauty of this unpolished gem. Take yourself to the edge where life is full color... and dirty.
The 55M Relay has lots of great, honest trail running, laced with off trail Hell, dished up by mother nature. You can choose your team type. Go for it all with an IN IT TO WIN IT team of up to 5 people, or soak in the experience with a JUST FOR FUN team of up to 10 people. Either way it's time to grab some friends and drag them to Hell! No late Relay entry so get on it!
