Description:

Choose from the Frightening 5k (plus*) route or the kid’s Monster Mile run or, new this year, the 10k!

Delta County Nonmotorized Trails (“DCNT”) is dressing up for its first race, which will be held at the Day’s River Pathway. You may encounter a zombie passing out drinks at the aid station or a wicked witch handing out your race packet—all frightening fun.

Trail running is a unique adventure for everyone whether you walk, jog, run or try an obstacle on the Monster Mile. The trail winds along the Days River through pine, spruce and cedar ridges of the Escanaba River State Forest making it one of the most popular local trails. The course for the 5k consists of loops 1 and 2 of the Days River Trail. The course offers peaceful woods and beautiful views of the river. You’ll find the trail well groomed but rolling enough to keep it interesting. It should be a great introduction to trail running for the less experienced trail runner and a fun, fast course for the more seasoned trail runner.

The 1 mile course for the kids’ fun run uses a portion of the skate ski loop, a wider, easier trail for beginning trail runners, but with a few obstacles. For runners who want to see a little more of the trail and run longer, the 10k uses lops 1, 2, and 3.
