A typical cyclocross course has run-ups and obstaces that often require riders to dismount and carry their bikes. This course is no different. Sometimes muddy, sometimes paved, tt is about a mile in length and offers multiple surfaces for riders and runners to enjoy.

Western High School and Western Middle School are located about a mile south of Exit 133 off I-94. The West270 Bike & Run will be conducted on the practice fields and nature trails behind the schools.
