Description:

The race is held in Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. The majority of the course is on Midwest iconic Ice Age Trail. This is a 1,000 mile footpath contained entirely within the state of Wisconsin. This trail is highly supported by the Ice Age Trail Alliance and dedicated volunteers. The community surrounding this trail is really special. You will pass many lakes, and a thick, dark forest with rich plant life

The trail is one of the only 11 National Scenic Trails in the country. Ancient glaciers carved the path through rocky terrain, open prairies, and peaceful forests.

Your race entry is good to be either an official 100 mile or an official 100k finisher. Runners will get back to the start/finish line at the 100k point. You can stop here and be an official 100k finisher, or head back out and go for the 100 mile finish. There is not a DNF unless you stop before the 100k point.

The race concept is you signup for the race, and no one around you knows what distance you are running. You can push your pace and find out if you are gonna blow up or not. If you blow up, you stop at the 100k mark and are still eligible for awards.

If you are feeling good, you can keep running and finish the 100 mile race.

We think this is a fun extra challenge to the day. Helps the runner push their limits. Plus one extra strategy to plan through when you are racing competitive. Will you stop and win that age group or overall award? or take your chances and continue on.
