DESCRIPTION

Are you ready to conquer the ultimate autumn adventure?

Our race logo pays homage to the whimsical Spotted, Redback, and Jefferson Salamanders that call Chippewa Creek their home. In the Spring, these tiny creatures embark on a journey from the woods to vernal breeding pools, symbolizing endurance and the spirit of exploration – qualities you’ll embody as you tackle the Chippewa Creek Challenge.

Feel the rush as you conquer steep inclines and navigate twists and turns.
