June 1st and 2nd, 2013 (REGISTRATION OPENS at 11am January 1st)

I hate saying good bye to the previous year, but it is time to begin planning for 2013 and I know you are all anxious to go. 

• We will be getting an online store up but not until April now with a fellow runner Gary Tinker. 

• We will be part of the Trophy series again.

• The Midwest Slam (or super slam) and Gnarly Bandit will again include the KM100 as among their races.  

• Getting more in touch with our Facebook audience is important for next year as many people probably expect more updates than we have done. Without the help of Aaron Buffington we wouldn't be on Facebook at all, Thanks.

• I'm working on being more methodical in the shirts next year and will make sure they fit properly and don't snag (they will be technical short sleeve for 2013).

Our 2013 race bulletin is available in PDF format.  This is where all race information is kept.  The awards will change a bit for 2013 to respect the variety of races.  Only the 100 mile solo runners will receive the copper kettle.

To find the start put La Grange, WI into your GPS and go north on Hwy H for 1.25 miles.  The Nordic parking lot is on your right.  Still looking for a road address or GPS coordinates for the start/finish.

The MIDWEST SLAM for 2012 was a resounding success with 17 of the runners finishing the Kettle 100.  After battling through the next three races 12 folks could say the completed the inauguarl Slam. The series consists of the Kettles, Mohican, Burning River and Hallucination 100's.  Thanks to Dale Holdaway for organizing this series.

The Kettle is also part of the Gnarly Bandit series of 5 races.  This series inclused Zumbro, Kettles, Black Hills, Superior/Sawtooth and Wild Duluth.  Thanks to the UMTRs and Phillip Smith.  11 runners finished the Kettles as part of this series and 3 ended up finishing all 5.

New Indiana ultra coming in 2013.  It will be held the weekend of April 20th.   Mike and Tom help support that Kettle and thinks the favor should be returned.  This ultra also is part of the new Super Slam option of the Midwest Slam.
