Death March :)

I looked it up on Google maps and saw that it was close to Bloomington. My legs started hurting just seeing it on the map and knew how hilly it must be.

Yep, and there isn't much pavement from what I understand. Apparently they will be in teams, and they will have to decide what combination of trail, gravel, or roads they will need to take to get to the various checkpoints, Then they take a team picture and head off for the next spot. It sounds a lot like orienteering with bikes, and sounds like great fun!

It goes on regardless of weather, bad weather would certainly add to the memorability of it! While it is a true race with a pot, they will also have something for the best co-ed team, assuming I read right.
