Iceman Cometh

Bruce Bodjack pics 2002 079November 8, 2008

This race is hosted and run by the Iceman Cometh director, Steve Brown. It is not an event of TART Trails, but the race occurs on the Vasa Pathway that we maintain year-round.

The Iceman Cometh Challenge is a point to point mountain bike race held traditionally on the first Saturday of November. The race starts in Kalkaska, Michigan and finishes twenty seven miles later at Timber Ridge RV & Recreation Resort on the eastern edge of Traverse City, Michigan.

The course consists primarily of dirt roads, two-tracks (the majority of the course), abandoned railroad beds, and the Vasa Pathway. It crosses only one paved road (Williamsburg Rd at mile 16) as it winds through the breathtaking (literally) terrain of the Pere Marquette State Forest in Northern Lower Michigan. In 2006, 2,267 athletes from 28 states and Ontario participated!
