Race Day Weather
Comfortable temps, big temp swing
Starting at 62°F, heat will be a factor from the gun — go out conservative and stay on top of hydration. Temps will climb significantly to 77°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.

Race Info
The 50K covers seven numbered legs of rocky, rooty and often muddy single-track near Hell, Michigan, with river crossings and a few stretches where the trail is barely established but well marked. The same legs make up the opening part of the 50 Mile course, so the hills and wet footing come early and keep coming. It runs on the Saturday of race weekend and finishes at the same venue it starts from.
