Finally, this year we will give back to our host city, Ferrysburg.  We are trying to make some renovations to the Fire Barn Park, please see details here or donate to the cause!: https://ferrysburg.org/fire-barn-park-donations-for-upcoming-improvements/

As this is a Non-Profit Trail Run, we will not offer any refunds as all money goes back to our great community.

Please NO use of headphones during the race.  Being this is a trail race, with some single track parts, we need to keep runners safe, and headphones make it hard to pass and communicate with fellow runners.  Thanks for understanding!

Packet/Bib Pick-up:

Will be Friday October 3th from 4p - 6p at Coast Guard Park (at the pavilion - located at the North East corner of the park).  You can also pick up you packet/bib on race day starting at 7a on Saturday October 4th.
