Dances With Dirt Ultra Trail Half Marathon
Race Day Weather
Warm start, warming through the race
Starting at 65°F, heat will be a factor from the gun — go out conservative and stay on top of hydration. Temperatures rising to 77°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.

Race Info
The Half Marathon runs 13.1 miles over the opening legs of the Dances With Dirt trail network near Hell, Michigan. The footing is rocky, rooty and muddy single-track with a few river crossings and some hills, so it runs much slower than a road half. It takes place on the Saturday of race weekend alongside the ultra distances.
