In the winter Swedetown chases a bear. But in the summer the recreation area chases deer. The Swedetown Trails will host the Great Deer Chase mountain bike race later this month, partnering with Cross Country Sports to raise funds for trail maintenance and recreation area upkeep.
Registration is now open for early-bird sign-ups. Kids races cost $15 or $20 depending on distance, while adult race registration starts at $25. A free 100-yard untimed tots event welcomes the youngest participants.
Early registrants receive a commemorative shirt designed by Studio 13’s Chris Schmidt. The first 200 participants registered will also receive an ONYX racing cap.
For more information and to register during early-bird sign-up, visit the Great Deer Chase website.
