🌨️ Race Description

• Embrace the Elements: Join us at Island Lake in Brighton, Michigan for a Half Marathon or 5 Mile run or ruck designed to embrace the messiest, most unpredictable conditions February has to offer. Snow? Ice? Slush? Perfect.
• Earn Your Gear: You’ll earn every inch of your WTF hoodie, medal, and bragging rights.
• Late Start: Worried about the cold? Don’t be. The late morning start gives you time to sleep in and lets the temps rise just enough before you hit the trails.
• Adventure Awaits: This race is for those who crave a challenge. The gnarlier the conditions, the cooler the participants.

🧗 Community Spirit

• 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.
• Complete the Series: 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.
