About the race
This event is a self-supported 150 mile run across the state of Michigan over Memorial Weekend. The course uses open roads and approximately 90 miles of rail trail, beginning at a Lake Michigan beach in Ludington and finishing at Veterans Memorial Park in Bay City. Crews are required to provide support along the route. Safety and crew rules note that roads will remain open to traffic and runners must wear lights sufficient to be seen while it is dark and on open roads, such as NoxGear or equivalent.
Crews may access runners where it is safe to do so but vehicles may not pace a runner at moving pace; crews must meet runners at parking lots, trail heads, or other suitable locations out of traffic. Aid on course is limited. A few volunteers will drive sections of the route and wait at trail intersections to offer supplementary water and occasional snacks, but runners should not depend on volunteer aid and should plan for crewed support. Breakfast will be available at the Clare Trail Head around the 100 mile location. Pacers may join at the Baldwin Trail Head and must register on the event platform and sign a waiver; pacer registration is free.
Course details will be posted later. Time limits include a 52 hour overall allotment and a 32 hour cutoff at the 100 mile mark; runners must reach the Clare aid station by that cutoff to continue. Awards include a belt buckle for finishers; registrants who drop will also receive a prize. Entry fees are listed between USD 136.62 and USD 163.25.
