Farmland 5K & Free for All Bike 2021

Short review

Date: Saturday, December 4, 2021

The Farmland 5K Run and Free for All Bike is Traverse City Track Club's "winter weather" running and biking event held on a dedicated cross country course on private farmland; always on the first Saturday in December.  A classic, European style turf grass course awaits you with optional knee high barriers including straw bales, fallen logs, wood fence and stone fence. Enjoy the natural challenge of running or biking in early December! (event to be held no matter the weather). Traverse over grass or snow and ice, wooded dirt trails, and farmland running terrain.

A Unique Bike Race called the "Free for All!"
The Farmland "Free For All" bike event has cyclists taking to the running course for 7 laps of fun competition (approximately 12.75 miles total), on any bike you choose. Fat bikes, gravel bikes, mountain bikes, maybe even a unicycle; you’ll see it all. Awards for overall, age groups, plus awards for all bikes for the 12 and under category.

For the ambitious, we’ll have a combined run/bike as well. Test your running legs in the 5k and your bike (or vice versa) and give the "Free For All" everything you’ve got left. Farmland Combos will be measured by their 5k time added to their bike time.
