Three scenic passes

If you skate the 39-mile Challenge (the pro race), you get three scenic loops through the gorgeous North Woods.

Women's cliffhanger

Here's the situation: Bont's Debbie Rice needs only one point to win NROC's women's division. But she's sick this week and, besides, she hates ultra-marathons.

If she doesn't make it to Hayward, Rebecca George, second in last year's Challenge, could roll away with the NROC title.

Fishy beer

The free beer at the post-race lunch (also free) is produced by the Muskie Capital Brewery. ... How often do you get to drink a beer named after a fish?

Art trophies

Lodging with wolves

More prems!

Skaters will have 80 chances to win prizes in hill climbs and sprints during the race!

Yep. They've got some monster muskies around here. But don't expect to land one without a guide. (Hayward guides on Google)
