What Makes It Great

A 20-mile out-and-back trail run on the blue-blazed North Country/Glacier Ridge Trail through Moraine State Park. Almost entirely on singletrack — with only a short stretch of paved/cinder bike path at the start and finish — the course runs through beautiful hardwood forests along the terminal moraine ridge, turning around at the Upper 528 Aid Station. An accessible entry point for runners new to trail events or those seeking an early-season competitive effort.
