Looking for a challenging and fun trail experience in the Fort Wayne area?  We have one for you!

Experience the beautiful Midwest fall foliage and color with your choice of running (10 or 4 miles) or riding (2x10, 10 or 4 miles) on beautiful single-track, multi-use mountain bike trails.

The 10-MILE race course runs through the entire Franke Park trail system with two stream crossings and challenging rolling terrain. This course continues to be EPIC!

The 4-MILE race course is less aggressive and features rolling trail and beautiful views along winding Spy Run creek.
