    All runners will set out on a 6-ish mile loop through the park that will traverse a wide variety of terrain, from single track through thick woods, to plank bridges and climbs up to the highest point in the park. Finishing the first loop, also known as the "Fun Run", runners will have the choice to continue out onto the second loop to complete "The Double". The second loop is a completely different 6-ish mile loop on a different section of trail, through the rolling prairies and around the lakes that the glaciers left behind long ago. If you complete the second loop, and want to challenge for complete supremacy by taking on the third loop, also known as the "Full Glacier", be ready for the unexpected. We like to mix it up each year, and this year is no exception. The wrinkle will be saucy! Standings and records will be kept for the Fun Run (~6 Mile), the Double (~12 Mile) and the Full Glacier (~18 Mile).
