The Marji Gesick features 100-miles of rocks, roots, punchy climbs, jump lines, flow trails and soul crushing grinding that DNFs nearly 60% of the field each year. 100-Mile racers are pursuing the coveted hand-forged belt buckle created by local Blacksmith Gordon Gearheart. Mountain Bikers must finish under 12-hours to claim one while runners have 30-hours. While it may seem on the surface to be easily achievable… we caution you to not underestimate the brutality of the course. It will undoubtedly bludgeon even the best endurance athletes it submission.

Enduro is the ultimate mountain bike race. Starts with a casual climb to the top with your buddies, and a timed run on the way down. There will be several stages of ranging difficulty and length in which you can test your skills. The lowest combined time of these mostly downhill stages wins! There will be a set time in which you must complete all of the stages. Bring everything you would on a normal trail ride lasting a few hours, water, food, tools, etc.

John Harrington passed away September 26, 2016 after a 15-year battle with prostate cancer. This run / walk is to honor his dedication to the community of Marshfield, and raise funds for the Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation to continue research to end prostate cancer deaths. The course being used for the event was created by John in the late 80’s to promote wellness in the Marshfield Community. This will be a celebration of that run, 25 years after the last Wellness Run, held in 1992. He wanted everyone to include physical activity in his or her daily routine. His question to himself every morning was “What will I do for my exercise today?”

The river side trails and wooded single track at Petrifying Springs Park are the perfect backdrop for the Pike River Trail Run & Walk. This 3.5 mile walk or run and 6.5 mile run is the best way to embrace the changing of seasons and enjoy fall in Wisconsin at its peak. The event will start like a cross country meet and then you will experience single track, rocks, roots, water and hills! The course will take you through some unexpected turns, but the excitement will be the beauty of the nature that surrounds you. No XCThrillogy Petrifying Springs event would be complete without an optional Pike River crossing, so plan on a crossing or two to add to the fun of this fall event. This event is perfect for all fitness levels and is dog friendly for those not interested in participating in the CaniCross Event.
