🏃 The races

1K: out and back, starts at 9:45 AM. Low-pressure race that's great for the youngsters!

5K: one loop, starts at 10:00 AM. Aid station along the loop.

💧 Aid station: at the main ski trail parking lot. It’s the 3K turnaround and a stop on the 5K loop.

📍 Location & parking
Park in the big lot across from the Lake County Fairgrounds on Fairgrounds Rd. Check-in, the start/finish, and the post-race gathering are all at the trailhead. Please arrive 20 minutes before your race to check in if you are already registered.

🌧️☀️❄️ All-weather event
Late November on the North Shore can bring anything from frosty sunshine to fresh snow. Dress in layers and wear shoes with good traction. It’s also hunting season, so wear bright or blaze-orange clothing.

💛 Entry is donation-based
Give whatever feels right to you. Every dollar supports local trails.

👕 Add a navy long-sleeve performance shirt to your registration for $28. Order by Thursday, November 12. We're ordering only the shirts requested by the deadline, so there won't be extras for sale on race day.

After the race

Hot apple cider, coffee, and snacks.
Bonfire.
