The course will include a ride up and down the West side of Northwoods (~3mi.), a run around the East side (~3.5mi.) and then a ride up and down the West side again (~3mi) to finish! This race can be done solo or grab a friend to make up a team of 2! Prizes will go to the top 3 finishers of each category. This will be a true challenge to complete! Click here to register now!
