Absolutely loved this race. They had the BEST volunteers, especially for the back-of-the-pack runners. Very well stocked aid stations every 2 miles and they never ran out of anything. It’s a small town but the residents came out and cheered even though thunderstorms! And the RD did a great job keeping us informed of race day info for the weeks and months leading up to the race. Beautiful scenery, got to learn mining facts and see mining equipment at the aid stations, lots n lots of hills!

My dad was a 50 stater before it was cool to do. We drove up to drop me off at college and decided to run this race while in Wisconsin. A big turnout from the town and beautiful course BUT hills were a killer. I didn’t train properly and paid for it. My dad it with a 3:15. But running some of the race with him before I faded was memorable.
