UPDATES - FINALLY!!

Finally we have some updates to share.

First, the course layout will utilize the new singletrack completed last year. Unfortunately the double track/ski trail has been officially closed and reseeded, so the DNR will not allow us to use an inch of this trail. We will be running the race as a combination of the existing loops, looping back into the lower parking lot area for timing.

Second, there will be overnight camping at this race, but it will ONLY be in the designated camping areas. As nice as it would be to set up camp along side of the race course to make Saturday morning easier, we will not be allowed to do this. There is a group camp area just down a bit from the trail head that we have reserved for Friday and Saturday nights. Team Pedal Moraine has one large group site that we will be setting campers up in. Camping will be $5 a night per tent. We will be on site Friday through Sunday to help facilitate camping set-up.

There is room for a few wheeled camping vehicles (pop ups or RV's), however these vehicles will need to stay off the grass and will be parked in an adjoining gravel lot - just so you're prepared.

There will be open registration FRIDAY night from 6-8pm for anyone wishing to take care of their registration ahead of time. We will then open again Saturday morning by 6:30am.

You are welcome to set your pit areas up Saturday morning along the race course, again no overnight camping will be allowed in this area (sorry).

All vehicles must park on the hard surfaced parking lot, or in the overflow lot south of the main lot.

I believe there will be a few more updates to bring you, but I wanted to get the basics out there since we were just able to finalize these details.
