The 10K wilderness run/walk winds its way through the Superior National Forest along the cross-country ski trails, snowmobile trails and Superior Hiking Trail. Nature is always generous with providing runners and walkers with plenty of mud, so come prepared for it.
Age group awards will be provided along with a commemorative T-shirt to the first 200 registrants.
