I have already posted this on the Michigan Chapter calander, but here it is for anyone else who might be interested.
It's not a race, but one of those "Because it's there" type challanges. No award, no bands, no finishers medals, not even a cheap damn t-shirt. Just a run that is so pointless and absurd its' bound to be a buttload of fun!
Its finally official. On August 14th, I'll be running from Mackinaw City MI, to Gaylord, on the North Central State Trail. Its 62 miles of scenic railway trail that cuts thru some of the most beautiful parts of Northern Michigan. This event isn't a race. It is a test to see if there is interest in hosting an Ultra on this trail. It will also raise awareness of this beautiful trail, and the Top of Michigan Trails Council, the organization that helps create and maintain this amazing trail and several others.
Runners are encouraged to join in for any part of the run. Run as much or as little as you want. Its going to be a long day, and I sure could use some company.
The trail isn't the most BF friendly, as its made of crused limestone, and full of sharp, pointy little stones. It is wide, scenic, and relatively flat though.
