Perfect for the weekend warrior, this trail festival
attracts the adventurous outdoor runner who enjoys
mixing it up with exciting off-road terrain. Beauty,
challenge, and endurance make this one of the most
unique race experiences in the northland.

2. Run all three races for $65 or go a la carte.
According to Rod Raymond, “The Duluth Trail Fest is arguably
the most beautiful and unique trail running festival in the world.”
It lures the runner looking for a fun, adrenaline-filled weekend:
Day One: A true athletic challenge, this almost 5K route starts
on a steep vertical climb at Chester Bowl (race runs right on
Olympic training ski jumps). Carved into Duluth’s hillside, Chester
Bowl’s trails offer a setting reminiscent of a national park system.
Day Two – Trail runners will absolutely love the renegade 15K
single track route that runs through a virgin deciduous forest on
the Superior Hiking Trail. Inspiring scenic overlooks make
navigation through some hilly sections more than worthwhile.
The finishing descent into a fern gully will leave runners
energized as they head for the finish-line at the Lake Superior
Zoo.
Day Three – Stride along Lake Superior beachfront before
running on a neighboring trail system that meanders through a
pine forest and by ancient ruins. Finish at the Park Point beach
house where you may choose to take a dip in Lake Superior.
A participant last year said, "This was the best weekend of my
life. The DTF is a must-do race. I would not be surprised to see
Outside Magazine do a Best of the Season feature on it.”
