The 15K relay uses an exchange zone at the start/finish area. Relay divisions include open women’s, open men’s, open mixed, and mixed masters age 40 and over. One lap equals 5K.

The course is 100% off pavement, approximately 95% Nordic ski trails and 5% single track, with grassy and dirt surfaces and several large climbs. The course is unlit; participants are advised to bring a headlamp. Terrain and elevation changes should be expected.

Registration is open online through October 23, 2026. Day-of registration and bib pick-up are available outside Battle Creek Recreation Center on race day starting at 4:30pm.
