Bradford Zinnecker's thoughts:

This is a great old school trail race. You mail in your entry and show up. It's 4 miles of tough farm land and woodland running. There's quite a bit of hills and even some creek crossings. It's about 50/50 field running and woods. There's usually a pretty big crowd and they even have awards for the 70+ age group. Part of the event is also the Woodsman/Woodswoman challenge. You can do pull-ups to take time away from your overall time and compete in this part of the event. Quite a diverse group of people and ages show up for this event. Schwag is usually something different. One year it was a small duffle bag with the race logo, the next year it was a hunting camo stocking cap with the race logo. Afterwards, there is a simple but great lunch provided by the Iowa Machine Shed!!! Awesome beef stew, pumpkin cake, and hot cider or coffee. It's worth the drive even 90+ minutes away! Good race for kids to cut their teeth on for a length longer than a 5K, but challenging!
