Description
Named after the President of the DLFA, and endurance runner Rich Bechler, this classic DLSP trail run covers the Ice Age trail from east of the terminal moraine, to the lake back east to Parfrey's Glen. At 14.5 miles one way and (an (almost) 30 mile return trip total distance, this is The Ultra known through the climbing circles.
Start at Roznos Meadows parking and take the trail west out of the back of the lot. Cross the South shore road, up the first hill and left onto EAst Bluff trail. West to the Balanced rock trail, down to the beach and up the West Bluff. Cross the North Shore picnic area and stay on the Ice Age Trail (hard to find), through the campgrounds at the tunnel and left right after. Continue East on the ICe Age trail north of Hwy DL, then crossing the road just east of 113. Take a quick left after crossing DL, and back into the woods and a notoriously wet/muddy part of the trail.
Take a left to cross HWY 113 and head east to Parfrey's Glen. 4 miles remain, with the last ~2 all downhill.
