Traditionally the mid-season Test Hike is at Devil's Lake Wisconsin.  It is a very beautiful and challenging course.  It is often the wake up call for those not training equal to their goals.

Since 2004 the second and final TEST HIKE has taken place at Manistee River Valley near Cadillac, MI.  It is a beautiful destination hike and a proven test bed.
