Due to heavy flooding and trail damge in the Dells we have postponed The Margonaut for March 27.

​

We are still going to a do a modified loop course on Saturday morning.

​

We have a created a course of two loops starting and ending at The Peavine TH. PLenty of parking. We will set up a tent city with firepits and smores and hot chocolate as well as the full aid station. This will be the only aid station that you come back to after every loop.

 

Loop A

7.6 miles

Utilizes the Peavine Trail and storm ranch trails east of peavine.

 

Loop B

5.7 miles

Utilizes the Peavine Trail and Watson Lake Trails west of peavine and behind dam.This loop is pending low water flows behind the dam. As of writing this the route is passable with maybe some ankle deep or less crossings. If it rains and the water comes up we will have you turn around and do this loop as an out n back instead of a full loop.

 

Light rain is forecasted saturday morning, and should clear out by the afternoon. Be prepared for a wet and cold morning.

 

The loops can be downloaded here.

We would still encourage everyone to carry a way of navigating with them to help not get lost. We will mark it well but for anyone that has run in the dells knows, its easy to lose your way.

 

We will encourage you all to do each loop twice, in opposite directions. THis will end up being about a marathon. A marathon in the dells though is equivalent to...something.

 

We are now going to start the run at 7am so as to not start in the dark.

 

We have rescheduled the original route and race for March 27. With this wild winter we are about to have who knows if that will work. Fingers crossed.

 

Packet pickup we will keep from 4-6 Friday at The Hike Shack downtown. At 6 we will give a short briefing and Q&A.

Dinner and drinks at The Raven at 7pm(not on us).

 

As this is essentially a free event now feel free to invite whoever you like to a do a/some loops.

 

With love, The Margonaut Corporation
