Veterans Memorial 150
The Veterans Memorial 150 is a self supported 150 mile endurance run across the state of Michigan over Memorial Weekend. The route begins at the beach on Lake Michigan in Ludington and finishes at Veterans Memorial Park in Bay City. The course uses open roads and approximately 90 miles of rail trail.
Participants must plan for crew support. Volunteers will drive parts of the course and staff some trail intersections to offer supplementary water and occasional snacks, but crews are expected to supply most aid. A communal breakfast will be available at the Clare Trail Head in front of the Moose Lodge on M-115, located at the 100 mile point; the meal is provided when a participant arrives at that location.
Roads on the route remain open to traffic. Participants and crew are responsible for safety and for complying with visibility requirements while it is dark on open roads, including wearing lights sufficient to be seen and NoxGear or equivalent. Crews may access runners where it is safe to do so, but vehicles may not pace a runner by following at the runner’s moving pace; crews must meet runners at parking areas, trail heads, or other safe locations to provide aid.
Pacers may join at the Baldwin Trail Head; pacers must register on Ultrasignup and there is no pacer registration fee. Charity partners and full course details will be announced later. Finishers receive a belt buckle and registrants who drop receive a prize. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
