Storm the Bluffs
Minnesota City, MN
Explore the Plowline trails of the
Bronk Forest Management Unit in
Minnesota City, MN.
On the 15k course, you will get to experience the steep climbs and wooded trails that wind through the bluff. A fast finish of nearly a mile downhill on a gravel road will get your heart racing!
Mountain bikers will follow most of the same 15k course and ride some fast-rolling single and double track. A tough heart-racing climb in the first half-mile of the race gets you started and a mile of exhilarating descent takes you to the finish!
You can get the best of both worlds if you join in on the duathlon!
Our 5k course will challenge you with an "up and over" the bluff out and back.
REGISTRATION WILL BE LIMITED TO 100 PARTICIPANTS! REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE WHEN WE REACH THE LIMIT OR AT 11:59 PM ON NOVEMBER 24TH....WHICHEVER COMES FIRST!
