Celebrating its 18th year in 2026, the race features a demanding course of single-track trails with varied terrain including uphills, downhills, and switchbacks, providing a true test of trail running skills. Participants enjoy a vibrant atmosphere with a post-race party offering BBQ, local craft beer (for those 21+), and live music, weather permitting.

It is managed by Big River Race Management, a leader in race timing and event organization in the Midwest. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
