The Experience

The Jackpine Savage Race, held in Spooner, Wisconsin, is a testament to community spirit and trail stewardship. This event supports the Spooner MTB Team and the development of the Spooner Community Forest Trails, making every pedal stroke contribute to local outdoor recreation.

The race utilizes a mix of terrain, featuring singletrack mountain bike trails and cross-country ski paths, with a brief section of pavement.
