Due to navigational difficulties with the bike course, the 5K mountain bike race was deferred to a time-trial effort of the Pine Loop. Results will be posted shortly.
Results for the 5K trail race can be found here: Tour da Tech Trails 5K Run
Fast times, loads of competition, and beautiful weather helped make today's events a success!!

Welcome, Freshmen!
As part of O-Week activities, members of the Copper Country Running Club headed over to Maasto Hiito for some adventurous trail running. For most, it was their first time at the Maasto trails, but I certainly hope it wasn't their last. I think everyone had a great time, even though the mud was thick, Dakota almost lost his shoes, and Matt nearly lost a pint of blood.I'm really excited about the upcoming year for the CCRC. We will soon be planning more adventure runs, which may include:
- Summiting Mount Baldy in Eagle Harbor, Michigan
- Color Touring the Cliffs near Phoenix, Michigan
- Adventure riking (run/hiking) the Porcupine Mountains near Ontonogan, Michigan
See ya on Wednesday at the SDC!
