This is a great race with a lot of history. I have run it a dozen times and keep coming back. Great swag and a nice after party. Registration is prompt and well organized. There is a nice after party at the Puck ( a local watering hole)

Due to confusion about the course, this race was a complete disaster. Runners being sent down the wrong streets, backtracking, running into others going the wrong way...could they have screwed it up any more? Most of the 5K runners ended up running about 2.3 miles, that is, if they didn't fall

Letas face it, there is nothing else like this! Start in Muskegon and run by sandy beaches on the Great Lakes, awesome late summer temps - warm in the afternoon and cool at night, quaint lakeside towns, beautiful woodland roads and farm country, and a fantastic party awaits you in Traverse
