🌨️ Race Experience

Join us at Island Lake in Brighton, Michigan for a run designed to embrace the messiest, most unpredictable conditions February has to offer. Snow? Ice? Slush? Perfect. You’ll earn every inch of your WTF hoodie, medal, and bragging rights.

🔥 Challenging Conditions

• Late Morning Start: Gives you time to sleep in and allows the temps to rise just enough before you hit the trails.
• Crew of Adventurers: This race is for those who crave a challenge. The gnarlier the conditions, the cooler the participants.
• Embrace Uncertainty: WTF is all about embracing uncertainty, chasing adventure, and leaning into whatever the trail throws your way.
• Ruck Division: Our ruck division is growing fast—ruckers, we see you.

🏅 Upcoming Events

Then, come back in June for the Summer Trail Fest Ultra (50K), Half Marathon, or 5 Mile to complete the series and claim your connecting STFU medal.
