The Gandy Dancer State Trail is a flat and fast limestone surface that should allow you a great chance at a PR and/or a BQ! Starting near the Luck Fire Department, you will head south on the trail for approximately 6.55 miles, just past Milltown, WI, then turn around and head north, back through Luck, and then north approximately 6.55 miles, just past Frederic, WI. In Frederic, you’ll turn back around and head to Luck once more, where you will finish with spectators, volunteers, and music to welcome you across the finish line! The start and finish line are located at the exact same point on the trail. Source
