About This Race

The 14-mile distance offers runners a substantial trail challenge that builds endurance without the full commitment of the marathon option, making it ideal for those stepping up from shorter distances or experienced runners seeking a strong training effort. This distance allows runners to experience the complete character of the Bull of the Woods terrain while maintaining a more manageable pacing strategy that doesn't require the careful fueling and hydration planning demanded by the 26-mile route. The shorter distance attracts runners looking to push their limits on technical trail terrain while finishing with enough energy to enjoy the post-race festivities.
