Committee allows "Stubborn Mule" adventure race to proceed
Summary
After reviewing an application and insurance certificate, the Sawyer County Land, Water and Forest Resources Committee approved the recurring 'Stubborn Mule' adventure race, described at the meeting as a multi-discipline orienteering event with an estimated 80–200 participants and minimal trail impacts.
The Sawyer County Land, Water and Forest Resources Committee voted to allow the "Stubborn Mule" adventure race after staff and an applicant described the event and confirmed a certificate of insurance was on file.
A presenter for the event described it as "orienteering" with mixed activities: "It's orienteering. It's biking. They have to get to different points... mix of biking, running, canoeing, kaying" and said the event has run previously. The organizer estimated participant numbers could range from about 80 to 200 people. County staff said the race should have little impact on designated trail systems.
Committee member Randy Newman moved to approve allowing the event; the motion was seconded by Marshall Seitzki and carried on a voice vote. The committee did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript. The approval was contingent on the application and insurance documentation presented at the meeting; no additional permit conditions were specified during discussion.
