Comfortable temps, moderate wind, chance of rain

Mild 59°F temps at gun time mean comfortable early miles without overheating risk. Moderate winds around 15mph may affect pacing on open sections of the course. There's a chance of rain, so have a backup gear plan ready. Moderate humidity at 67% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.

Race Info

The Superior Fall Trail Races 100MI, 50MI & 26.2MI are extremely hilly, rugged and technical trail-races that traverse the Sawtooth Mountain Range via the Superior Hiking Trail in far Northern Minnesota. All three distances are run point-to-point, finishing at Caribou Highlands Lodge on Lutsen Mountain. The race is approximately 4.5 hours North of Minneapolis. The course parallels Lake Superior, the largest lake in the world by surface area, climbs to near 2000′ peaks with breath-taking vistas of the lake and inland forests, and crosses whitewater rivers and serene streams while traversing through boreal forests.
