A fast, fun and challenging course utilizing Fort Custer's red, green & yellow trails awaits you! Whether you're looking to keep up your conditioning as Iceman awaits or perhaps attempting your first Mountain Bike race, Custer's Last Stand is a great race for you.
The 7.5 miles of trail is 95% single track, but affords enough passing room for courteous racing. Participants will be sent off in waves w/everyone in their race class every 2 minutes.
All post race proceeds donated to the House of Promise (Lansing, MI) for human trafficking victim rehabilitation.
