The Course

The Two Hats, One Mile race will take place on a one mile loop. The course is housed on private land just 10 minutes from Big Rapids, MI. Within the one mile loop, runners will encounter a 150 feet elevation gain, woodsy trail conditions, some fast runnable sections, and a sandy downhill section through the open field to the start/finish area. This will be a Last Runner Standing event. Runners will be given 20 minutes to complete the loop and must be back in the starting corral ready to start the next loop.
