The Savage 100 is held at Murphy-Hanrehan Park and features a 100-mile run as well as a 100k run.
This is a suburban course through a beautiful park. All races are on trails with two miles of single track, although the south end of the course runs like a single track due to the horses. All races will start at 15501 Murphy Lake Road, Savage, MN.
Belt buckles awarded to 100 Mile finishers. Runners shirts are unisex sizing.
These events are to be competitive and fun. They will be official races, however most of the prizes and awards will be for costumes to go along with the Halloween theme.
