A fast, fun and challenging course utilizing Fort Custer's red, green & yellow trails awaits you!  Whether you're looking to keep up your conditioning as Iceman awaits or perhaps attempting your first Mountain Bike race, Custer's Last Stand is a great race for you. The 9 miles of trail is 90% single track, but affords enough passing room for courteous racing.  Participants will be sent off every 30 seconds so there's plenty of space between riders. All post race proceeds donated to the House of Promise (Lansing, MI) for human trafficking victim rehabilitation.
