The Zumbro 100 Mile Endurance Run takes place in Theilman, Minnesota within the Zumbro River Bottoms Management area in Southern Minnesota’s Bluff Country / just outside of the tiny village of Theilman. Generally speaking, the Zumbro River Bottoms Management area lies within a portion of the Richard J. Dorer Memorial Hardwood Forest – an expansive 2 million acre tract of Minnesota Hardwood forest. We will not pretend these are mountains, because they are not, this is Mississippi River Valley Bluff Country, it is wild, rugged, beautiful and provides the perfect venue for 100 miles of trail running! The race starts and finishes at the West Assembly Area. Runners will have access to five aid stations per 16.7 mile loop (30 aid stations in 100 miles, that is an average of an aid station every 3-1/3 miles!) The course consists of primarily single and double-track trail with some minimum maintenance gravel road sections.
