Wolverine Winter Skirmish
What is the Wolverine Winter Skirmish?
All the same action and adventure as our Wolverine 5K, but with little twists.
Set in the dead of winter, brings all new equipment, clothing, mobility, physical, and emotional challenges to overcome.
Instead of a point-to-point 5K orienteering route, Wolverines are given multiple grid points all at once with the goal to find as many as possible within a set period of time.
The gear list for the WWS is the same as the W5K, but we allow (and recommend) snowshoes, skis, and gear sleds for the orienteering portion.
