We sincerely appreciate all of you that have properly supported this race over the years or for the very first time!
Before we jump into this year’s preview, let’s be clear about one thing: this 5K includes trails. Yes, trails. Consider this your official trail disclaimer.
We are excited to return to our original setup, starting and finishing on the high school track. There is nothing better than beginning inside the stadium and closing out your race with a strong lap on the track. Fast start. Fast finish. Wildcat style.
Because of ongoing construction in several areas around campus, this year’s exact route is still being finalized. Our team is designing a fun and adventurous course that embraces the spirit of this event. The finalized course map will be reviewed and posted soon.
You can expect a mix of surfaces that keeps things interesting. Portions of the trail, including dirt and grass. Some road sections to let you open up your stride. A combination that reflects cross-country grit with just enough pavement to stay fast.
This is not a pure road race. It is not a straight cross-country course either. It is a Wildcat Road & trail 5K, which means natural terrain, changing rhythm, and a course that rewards focus and effort.
And yes, in case you missed it, there will be a trail.
We will have food and drinks waiting for you at the finish line on the track. Please note that dogs are not allowed on the course. The event will be held rain or shine, though delays or cancellations may occur in the case of dangerous weather. No refunds will be issued.
So lace up your running shoes, trail-ready is encouraged, and get ready.
The trails are calling. And this year, they start and end at home.

History of Huntertown
Huntertown was originally called "The Opening", after being settled in a natural clearing in the forest, in about 1837. Huntertown is located on the old Lima Plank Road connecting Lima (now Howe) and Fort Wayne. The Perry Centre Seminary was founded in Huntertown in 1856, only to close five years later when the entire faculty and adult students enlisted in the Union Army. The town was platted in 1869. That means that this year marks Huntertown's 157th year in existence!

An 8-hour endurance mountain bike race beginning at 8 am on the Warnaar Trail at Meyer Broadway Park in Three Rivers, MI.
Solo rider, two-person, and four-person relay team categories.
No bike category or restrictions. (No E-bikes, sorry.)
Professional timing.
No swag bags (you'd just throw it all away anyway.) Some guy named Nathan once said - "Give me an option to save money on registration and skip your ill-fitting Gildan 80-grit sandpaper t-shirt that will go to a landfill." So that's what we did. No swag = Money savings.
No prize money.
Top riders/teams from each category will win a "fabulous" something.
8:00 AM mass start. Well, kinda. 8:00 AM for solo and two person teams, 8:03 AM for four person teams.
No restrictions on team member laps. Switch every lap, switch every 10 laps, trick one team member into doing the whole thing... whatever.
Pit row available for team tents.
The race directors, should they choose to race, receive an automatic two lap head start. They work hard and deserve it. ;)
Professional race photos will be provided by a person with a camera. Ok, the photos may not be professional, but if we can talk someone into taking photos, there will be photos.
The party starts at 12:00 PM with food and beverages in the beer garden. Yes, you will still be stuck on the course until 4 pm, but your family and friends that are there to heckle you will be hungry. They may also want a beer. Also, have you ever heard of a beer hand-up between laps?
All racers will receive 2 drink tickets and 1 food ticket. Food and beverages will be available to purchase for a very very affordable price for all spectators.
Stick around in the afternoon to celebrate your feats of strength in the beautiful Meyer Broadway park with music and the aforementioned food and drink.
We can't wait to see you there.

15.8-Mile Bike: This is a flat, out-and-back course with both right and left turns. The first section extends through an industrial park and then into the country to Millersburg and back.
5K Run: This course is two laps (3.1 miles) on the flat aggregate track that encircles Fidler Pond. While on the course runners are able to see the rest of the field, and there are plenty of great spots for spectators to cheer.
Mile Swim Event- If you like to swim in open water, you will absolutely love this opportunity to swim in thispristine quarry. The deep, clean, clear water makes for quite the swim experience! The Mile Swim Event will be set up in a counter-clockwise course, tracing the perimeter of the pond. Swimmers will be chip-timed, and timing will end upon crossing a timing mat placed on land at water’s edge of the swim exit
An amazingly scenic greenway race! The race starts in Kreager Park park, winds is way along the Maumee river before the return trip along the same path.
