Course and race logistics

Snowshoes are required and must be carried on the athlete for the full race. The course may be modified before race day because of weather and trail conditions. Expect singletrack, doubletrack, and groomed snowshoe trails, with roughly under 8 miles and about 500 ft of climbing per loop.

There will be two aid stations: start/finish and an on-course station at about 4 miles. Aid station supplies include water and Skratch, chips, cookies, bananas, vegetable soup or broth, and assorted salty and sweet snacks. This is a cup-less event; participants are expected to use their own cup or bottle. Parking is allowed in designated spots only. All finishers receive a custom engraved Miir camp mug and participants receive a Fractel beanie. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
