Mad Trapper

The Season Finale

Due to popular demand... the HILLY course is BACK!

Date

Overview

As much as I love running across a frozen lake, once late February rolls around the water can get pushed up and slushy conditions prevail.

But climbing up to it is always so much fun!

So this year we'll be re-introducing the "hilly course" from days gone by. Think climbing and climbing, and once you think you can't climb anymore, I find a way to make it possible.

But the good news is, once you reach the summit, it's all downhill from there!

Highlights

  • You don't have to worry about being cold!

    Sheltered from the wind and Zone 4 out of the gate!
