Highland MTB trailhead | Highland, MI
The Frozen Highland Fatass is back for its eight year!In a nod to the infamous Barkley Marathons taking place that same weekend, the Drank Sinatras are hosting the Frozen Highland Fatass on March 15th.
There will be four different loops marked, around 4.25-4.5ish miles, all starting from the trailhead. There will also be a Twister spinner at the trailhead - as you finish each loop, you get to spin it and determine your next loop. Chance will dictate your course for the day.
Feel free to run 1 or 7 loops, and anything else in-between.
There will be a stuffed animal on each loop with which you'll have to take a selfie. If you take a plain, boring selfie, Alex will be very disappointed in you and the whole thing will go zero to Lord of the Flies real quick (but your lap will still count).
Costumes and onesies are highly encouraged, cause why the fuck not. Trail running is awesome, so lets have some more fun.
There will be one aid station set up, with water, snacks, and Fireball at the trailhead. There's plenty of space for mirth and merriment at the trailhead - just BYOB (or whatever floats your boat), a camp chair, and snacks (or food to share). The shindig is going to start around 9ish – just keep your ears open for the bugle call announcing the start.
The male and female winners get a custom-made wood medal, Flavor Flav styles and scale. Unless we have a repeat winner, in which case they get a sweet championship belt buckle. The DFL peeps in each group receive a super flavorful pack of unfiltered Camels.
Let’s face it – it’s going to be a lot of fun, and you should definitely come.

Fine print: The event is USATF timed and USADA will be randomly drug testing. Do NOT come if you have a fun allergy. The playlist isn't for everyone. You will not be any closer to your real goals after participating. You shouldn't have real goals anyway. Except when you do. You should. Do NOT take a random gummy from anywhere. If you get lost, just describe the tree you're looking at and Sweeney will find you, we promise. And / but, and we cannot stress this enough, do NOT come if you don't want to meet people who will become your BFFs. If you're at BFF capacity, this event isn't for you. It's also not a Western States qualifier. And won't get you into Heaven. Except maybe it is Heaven. Like the 13th Century Japanese Zen Master Dogen said, "Do not assume you will necessarily recognize your own enlightenment." Just come and have fun. Run. Walk. Puke if you have to. But puke and rally. Let's do it for Johnny. Now youse can't leave.
