The Weekend

Once a year, five friends — teammates by day at General Mills, legends by weekend — descend on "the cabin": a gloriously remote patch of north woods outside Grand Rapids, Minnesota. Is there a cabin? No. There has never been a cabin. There is an RV, and the RV is everything — headquarters, clubhouse, wine cellar, and venue for four days of food, laughing, breweries, wine bars, and a pilgrimage to Zorba's.

One guy is permitted on the property. He drives. He fetches. He DJs. He pours. He is the Race Director, and he is honored to serve.

And then, on Saturday, it gets serious. Sort of.

The Cabin Classic

The crown jewel of the weekend: a completely made-up, entirely legitimate running race on the legendary cabin loops. Choose your distance. Choose your pace. The clock is decorative.

EVENT 01

~1 Mile

The Loop

One scenic lap of the classic cabin circuit. A dignified distance for the athlete who has places to be (the mimosa table).

EVENT 02

~2 Miles

The Full Send

Both loops. The complete course. Reserved for competitors chasing glory, personal records, and bragging rights at Zorba's.

EVENT 03

You Decide

Director's Choice

Any distance, any pace, any number of mid-race walk breaks. Since every distance is made up, every finish is a course record.

🥂 The Aid Station

Fully stocked start/finish line featuring race-day refreshments and the signature mimosa — orange juice kept to a strict, regulation minimum.

🔊 Live Race-Day Audio

The Race Director provides walk-up music, mid-race hype tracks, and unreasonably enthusiastic announcing every time you pass the RV.

🏆 Awards & Swag

Every finisher receives the coveted annual swag bag. The podium has exactly as many steps as there are athletes. This is by design.

Course Map

Surveyed by the Race Director on foot, certified by no one — though Carlson Land Surveying has been made aware and has declined to comment.

Race Weekend Schedule

Thursday Aug 20

Athlete Arrival & RV Check-In

Athletes report to headquarters (the RV). Carb loading begins immediately and continues for the duration of the event. Wine counts as carbs.

Friday Aug 21

Pre-Race Training: Downtown Grand Rapids

A rigorous circuit of breweries and wine bars, with shuttle service provided by the Race Director. Hydration strategy: questionable. Morale: extremely high.

Saturday Aug 22

RACE DAY — The Cabin Classic

Start time TBD, pending consultation with the athletes and the weather. Walk-up music, start/finish line, live announcing, mimosa aid station, awards ceremony, and the annual swag bag presentation. Dinner of champions to follow (Zorba's has been notified).

Sunday Aug 23

Cool-Down & Farewell

Recovery brunch, slow packing, long goodbyes, and immediate planning for the 4th Annual.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wait — is there an actual cabin?

No. "The cabin" is a beautifully remote patch of woods up north. The only structure on the property is the RV, which serves as headquarters, lodging, kitchen, and wine cellar. The name predates scrutiny and will outlive it.

Is this an official, sanctioned race?

Absolutely not. The course was measured by vibes, the timing system is a guy yelling, and the governing body is whoever is holding the mimosa pitcher.

What's the entry fee?

Showing up. Entry includes the full weekend, race bib energy, aid station privileges, live audio support, and one (1) artisanal swag bag.

Can I set a personal record?

You are guaranteed to. All distances are made up, so every finish time is simultaneously a personal record and a world record. Congratulations in advance.

What if I'd rather walk?

Walking is a recognized discipline of the Cabin Classic. So is jog-walking, walk-jogging, and pausing at the aid station for an unsanctioned refill.

Who is the guy with the speaker?

That is the Race Director. He drives the shuttle, pours the mimosas, runs race-day audio, and is contractually obligated to whoop every time an athlete passes the RV.

Can I still register?

Registration closed July 4, 2026. The field is set at five athletes, which is one more than the RV was designed for. Entry was by reputation and remains so; check back for the 4th Annual.

Who are the sponsors?

Our two Founding Sponsors are Carlson Land Surveying and Nordic Gal Designs — equal billing, both tier one. See the sponsors section for the full, deeply official details.

Official Sponsors

The inaugural class of Cabin Classic Founding Sponsors — two businesses, equal billing, neither of which had a realistic way to say no.
