I raced this is 2013 and 2014. As one of the older ultras on the scene (around since 1982), it's impeccably managed and run. It's pretty low key (typical in the ultra scene), so there isn't much by way of swag /expo hoopla, but that's cool with me. The money is better spent on the post-race after party with free beer, free food, and free music. It's like a big family reunion barbecue up in the Kettle Moraine!

The course itself is outstanding; can't find much better trail running in the Midwest. The aid stations are well-run and well-stocked. RD Jeff Mallach has all aspects of this thing dialed.
