Course and logistics: the course begins on the 100 block of Washington Street in front of local businesses, proceeds down Washington Street, crosses Front Street, passes Iron Bay Restaurant & Drinkery, turns onto Lakeshore Boulevard and connects to the bike path near Main Street. The route heads south on the bike path toward Harvey. The 5K turnaround is located before the Carp River Bridge; the 10K turnaround is on the bike path before the Michigan Welcome Center and is marked by an aid station. Both races finish on the bike path between Spring Street and Baraga Avenue.
