THE COURSE:

The course will start at the Big Woods tent camp area where it cuts across the paved trail and weaves through the prairie. It takes you to the disc golf course, where you will route through the first nine holes. Cutting again to the paved trail, you will route to the entrance of the Cedar Falls yard waste drop-off, circling back on the paved trail, which rounds the lake and finishes back at the tent camp area. You will have the option of a 2-mile add-on after the last leg, bringing your event total to 50 miles.

The route will be marked heavily with orange Meyerhoff’s Mayhem flags.

*Beware…there may be spooky Halloween help out there to direct you.

This is an in-person event. There is not a virtual option.

THE SWAG:

Custom Finisher Medals will be handed out as you cross the finish line of Leg 12.

Custom shirts guaranteed for participants that register before September 13th, at Midnight
