Food/Aid Stations: Due to our unique multi-loop course setup, we have one giant “aid station,” with more food and drink than you could ever need! Ask anyone who’s run at least one of our races; we’ve got everything from fruit to jelly beans to sandwiches, water to Gatorade to hot coffee, and everything in between. Way more than just granola bars and bananas–we even have our very own mobile kitchen, Loony Lunchbox!
Additional Details: As the series name implies, this is a TRAIL series. These are not very technical trails, but there are “toe-catchers”, grass, gravel, and dirt. Also, if it rains, that means the trails will likely have wet + dirt = mud. As any good Boy Scout or Girl Scout knows, Be Prepared! Check out Minnesota Brothers website by clicking the logo above.
Registration link is below. You may do any number of races; special medals are awarded to those who complete all four races! Also, those that complete all races in the Heartland Series and the Minnesota Brothers Trail Series will receive an epic “11 in 11” Belt Buckle!!
