  an opportunity to survey the roads.

  The Short Course will be marked with signs to guide you along the route. If you would like to have a queue sheet for any distance, you can do so by printing the route from RideWithGPS. Else you can navigate from your bike computer or phone. We will release the routes prior to the event.

  Wearing a helmet is required. Rear light and headlight on your bike are recommended; these roads are open to the public. Wearing headphones is discouraged.

  This event is an effort of our 501c3 club to carry forward the tradition of a gravel event in the area this time of year, which had prior been the END-TICK, now retired.

  Traditionally this event has been a gravel ride, and we want to maintain that format for those who’d like to participate in a ride. We’d also like to maintain that there will be a time window to start your ride. We will track your time for those riders. See the time windows in each distance.

  We’d also like to provide the opportunity for those that would like a mass start with others and/or compete and race against others with a set start time for their event. Those start times will be the listed start time for each distance. Podium awards will be provided for 1st, 2nd and 3rd for mass start participants.

  As with many gravel events, this will be self-supported. For the 2 longer distances, there will be opportunities to refuel and get water at some small town(s) where you can purchase food/drink from convenience store and/or locations where you will be able to get water.

  NOTE: This area has elevation, you'll see this in the course maps. This will add time to your ride versus a flat ride over the same distance. Also, the gravel in this area may be slower than what you're used to. Take these into consideration with your time and your hydration and fueling needs. We recommend you bring one more bottle of water and additional nutrition, beyond what you think you'll need.

  Pelican River Pheasants Forever -- Hustle For Habitat

  Join us for the 3rd Annual Hustle For Habitat event that includes the Rooster Run 5K and 1 Mile Strut on Saturday, July 25, 2026.

  Location:

  … ▼ Show more Show less

  Dunvilla Trap Range, 21863 Highway 34 (MN-34), Pelican Rapids, 56572

  Directions: From Lakeland General Store (22438 Old 59 Rd, Pelican Rapids, MN 56572), turn west on Highway 34. Turn right into the trap range.

  The Pelican River chapter of Pheasants Forever had a blast hosting the Hustle For Habitat event in 2024 and 2025, and we are excited to host it again in 2026! The event includes two races: Rooster Run 5K and 1 Mile Strut. Pheasants Forever is known as the "The Habitat Organization" and each chapter decides how all funds raised will be used to support local habitat. The Pelican River chapter will donate the proceeds from this event to local habitat conservation projects, including the Conservation Education program which was developed to grow an informed public that appreciates and supports wildlife habitat conservation and the benefits it provides to clean water, clean air, soil protection and a healthy environment to live in.

  If you ran with us in 2025 ... please note these important changes for 2026: The route now pops up to the gravel road right after the water stop, the route will have more directional signage (especially coming out of the field), and we have already reserved more porta potties! We will also have more copies of the map and schedule at registration to make sure every runner knows when and where things are happening. Note that due to the farm habitat, this is more of a "trail run" than a "road run".

  If you ran with us in 2024 and 2025 ... thank you for supporting the Hustle For Habitat! The 2026 event is coming back even better than before! We hope you join us again!
