Our Mission

The Storm Trail Race Series mission is to encourage people of all skill levels to participate in trail racing events, to get outdoors and to enjoy the beautiful local trails in Southeast MN. A percentage of the profits from our events go to organizations that assist with Mental Health treatment and awareness.

Cupless Event

In an effort to lessen our race footprint on the environment, we are going cupless. Please bring your own reusable cup, refillable water bottle, etc… You will have an opportunity to purchase a silicone drinking cup at checkout.

Course Overview

Explore the trails of Bluffside Park in Winona, MN. Trail runners will get to experience steep climbs and wooded single track trails. Mountain bikers will ride some fast rolling single and double track with some good climbs. You can get the best of both worlds if you join in on the duathlon!
