Winter Trail Fest 13.1 Mile Westside

The Winter Trail Fest Westside is a winter trail race taking place at Yankee Springs Recreation Area in Middleville, Michigan. The event offers a half marathon (13.1 mile) and a 5 mile distance. Participants can choose between running or rucking for both distances. A virtual option is also available.

The event is known for unpredictable winter trail conditions, which can include snow, slush, ice, or mud. A notable feature of the course is an optional river crossing; runners can choose a 0.25-mile detour to bypass the water. The half marathon course includes rolling hills and rugged singletrack.

The registration includes a custom hoodie and a finisher's medal for in-person participants. Chip timing, post-race food and drinks, and free race day photos are also provided. "Economy" registration options are available at a lower price, which excludes the swag items. The event is part of a trail series, offering a 15% discount when bundled with the Summer Trail Fest Ultra event in June. The series includes connecting finisher medals.
