The event takes place on May 15, 2027, at the high school campus located at 17001 Ferris St, Grand Haven, MI 49417. All distances start and finish on the track inside the high school stadium, which provides substantial parking and indoor restroom facilities.
Courses remain on school property and adjacent bike paths and do not proceed on public roads. Participants follow the bike path along Ferris Street to Lakeshore Drive and continue south on the Lakeshore Drive bike path.
