Get off the road and on the trail !
Winona's DeerFly trail race is like no other event around, and offers something for everyone.
The 5 kilometer race offers a fast course in excellent condition by trail running standards. A well marked course with no major climbs, it includes mostly wide trails, a bit of gravel road, and approximately 1 mile of single track to the finish line. This is a great course for anyone, including competitive runners, and walkers.
10 kilometer race is a bit more of an adventurous course that will include steep climbs, running where there is NO trail, possibly across creeks and streams, and could be muddy. (Conditions Dependent) There will be a fully stocked aid station at roughly the half way point.
The 25k race has it all. Some nice mild two track, technical single track with a few steep climbs, rolling hills on gravel road where you can open it up and take in the beauty of the forest around you. A fun, challenging, runnable course fit for the newest of trail runners looking to up their game or the seasoned sort of trail vet looking for a new race to add to your resume. There will be 2 fully stocked aid stations throughout the 25k course.
Awards will be presented to top 3 male and female for each distance.
Post race food is offered to all participants and will consist of classic summer picnic foods, Hoffman hot dogs, chips, salads, and new this year cheese quesadillas.
