Route Descriptions
42 km Route
If you’re up for a challenge, this race is for you! The course shares the first 5 km with the 24km folks, but get ready to turn on to some black diamond trails! This course features both Beaver Pond and VO2 Max, which you’ll hit at the front half of the race. There’s plenty of time to recover on the gently rolling namesake trail, Wolf Tracks. But, before you head to the finish line, skiers must first tackle River Run. Then, it’s a hop, skip, and a jump to the finish line!
The 42 km race will have 5 Aid Stations.
24 km Route
This course utilizes strictly easy and intermediate level trails. You’ll get your heart pumping right away as you climb up towards Tornado Alley, Survivor, and Yukon Trail. Once you tackle those hills, you will be rewarded with some nice cruising sections for the remainder of the race including the namesake trail for the race: Wolf Tracks.
The 24 km race will have 3 Aid Stations.
Aid Station Offerings
- All Aid Stations will offer water, Gatorade, Energy gels, oranges, and bananas.
- Aid Station 2/3 will offer a wax station.
- All Aid Stations will offer spare poles.
