Race Info
The 5 Mile at Winter Trail Fest Westside runs on rolling singletrack at Yankee Springs Recreation Area near Middleville, Michigan, on trails that few of the park's other events use. It starts and finishes at Deep Lake Campground on the Saturday of race weekend. About half a mile from the finish, runners either wade a frigid river crossing or take a slightly longer dry detour around it. The distance suits first-time trail runners and anyone looking for a short early-season trail race in winter conditions.
