The Mont-Du-Lac race course has been labeled as one of the top race courses in the Midwest, not only by the locals, but also by Minnesota pro riders as well. With a five mile loop that consists of leg burning climbs, screaming decents and Mont Du Lac's trademark rolling singletrack, this course will challenge every rider. Each lap will test the rider's power, endurance, mind and body to the max. This course offers something for everyone, from the first time rider to the seasoned veteran. The DirtSpanker will offer you a true test and a great time.

Food and drink will be for sale on race day and primitive camping is available on-site. The course will be open for pre-riding to REGISTERED racers. The XC course in on PRIVATE PROPERTY and can ONLY be ridden on Tuesday night or on the race weekend. If you are in the area, come out and ride with the members of COGGS on the Tuesday ride.
