Mud Warning! This is a true trail event—so, dress for the weather and embrace the mess! Your feet will likely get muddy and wet, but that just means you embraced the Goodell wilderness.
The approximate distance is 5K (3.1 miles), but the final course and exact length will be determined in the spring based on the best trail conditions.
