🌳 Event Purpose

Help us raise funds for youth mental health education and services at the Family & Children's Center in Winona as you explore the Plowline trails of the Bronk Forest Management Unit in Minnesota City, MN. Trail runners will get to experience the steep climbs and wooded trails that wind through the bluff. Mountain bikers will ride some fast-rolling single and double track with a tough heart-racing climb in the first half-mile of the race. You can get the best of both worlds if you join in on the duathlon!
