Experience intensely fun and challenging biking, paddling, trekking and orienteering over some of the most beautiful and rugged terrain in Michigan at jaw-dropping, eye-popping Ludington State Park. You and your teammate(s) will race together to find as many checkpoints as you can in the time period. Both courses feature a nice mix of packed, marked trails and off-trail running with virtually no sand, not-too-hard singletrack biking and scenic paddling. Don’t let the long duration keep you from an incredible experience. Just adjust your pace, maintain a positive attitude and make sure you know how to follow a topographic map and use a compass to find off-trail checkpoints. The race is capped at 500 participants due to limited parking.
