The Winter Trail Fest (WTF) Westside is a winter trail race on Saturday, February 21, 2026, at Yankee Springs Recreation Area - Deep Lake Campground, 2526 S Yankee Springs Rd, Middleville, MI 49333. The event offers multiple race options, including:

The course description notes winter trail conditions such as snow, slush, ice, or mud.

A river crossing is part of the course, with an alternate route that adds 0.25 miles to avoid the crossing.
