UPCOMING ADVENTURE RACES, CYCLOCROSS RACES, AND EXTREME RUNNING EVENTS
2012 Kahtoola Michigan Mountian Run
February 5, 2012 Pine Knob Ski Area Clarkston, MI
This winter run has been organized more for fun than competition. However, make no mistake, this will be a very challenging run.
Participants will be running directly on parts of Pine Knob Ski Area. You will be traveling up and down steep hills and on varied terrain with
snow and ice. Some type of footwear traction system or snowshoe is HIGHLY recommended for this run. We will be offering a 4K event
and 8K event. It will definitely feel closer to 5k and 10k as there will be lots of hill climbing! Come out and have fun playing in the snow!
Grand Rapids Urban Adventure Race: Winter Edition
February 11, 2012 Cannonsburg Ski Area Belmont, MI
Get warmed up for what may be the largest, nuttiest winter adventure race in the history of snow. You’ll face crazy challenges that will
leave you shaking in your moon boots. And you’ll venture over the river and through the woods looking for hidden flags, but not even close
to your grandmother’s house. It’s the Grand Rapids Urban Adventure Race brought to you by Michigan Adventure Racing.

biking and 1-2 miles of canoeing to get all of the checkpoints in 'breakout' style.
