From the Organizer
One of the most beautiful 26.2 courses in the state of Michigan around Crystal Lake in Beulah. The course starts and finished at the east end of Crystal Lake in Beulah (start and finish rough 400 meters apart).
As in years past, we will be offering runners the chance to run the full 26.2 as a competitive individual. The individual race begins at 7am with teams starting at 8am. We request all individuals and teams finish by 1pm (6 hr cutoff). For those that may need longer, please email and we can setup earlier start time.
Teams of 5 are encouraged, but you may register a team with fewer than 5 runners. If less than 5, the team may determine how they cover the 26.2 mile course.
Packet pickup will take place the Friday evening prior to race day 5-7pm at Beulah Beach (race start location - 284 S. Benzie Blvd, Beulah)
Restrooms will be located at the start of the race along with various locations around the race course. There are no set restrooms out on the course. Water will also be available at roughly 12-15 spots spread throughout the course (No energy gel or Gatorade provided). These "aid" stations are simply volunteers around the lake who will have a table of cups and water out for runners.
All teams are expected to transport themselves around the course to each exchange zone. This is very straightforward and a huge part of the fun! The course is not closed, and it is okay for runners on a team to join teammates for portions of their leg.
Teams of 5 are standard, but other variations are acceptable (3 runners splitting the 5 legs, one runner running 1st and last leg with 3 others taking the middle three, etc.)
