Description
SAME DAY REGISTRATION AVAILABLE 9 AM - 1 45 PM (shirts not guaranteed.. but race bag for the first 150 runners)
Run the North Country Trail at the 2nd Annual Independent Bank Blue Blaze Trail Run! This event takes you
through Michigan's beautiful Manistee National Forest's scenic North Country Trail!
There are plenty of hills for the masochists who love them, but not so many that it's silly. The footing is usually excellent, but there are areas where your ankles will thank you for slowing down and watch for roots. Patches of sand will slow things down, but much of the course is pleasantly-packed dirt. However, THIS IS NOT A ROAD RACE. The terrain will be challenging, and may be very challenging if the weather has been unusually dry.

Looking for an extra challenge? Sign up for the 2nd Annual White River Kayak Paddle Race Sponsored by Houseman's Foods. The White River is a small river with a BIG personality. This section of the White River is sometimes shallow, has some quick turns, feisty rapids with rocky runs and low hanging limbs. It is best taken by experienced paddlers in maneuverable kayaks.
The run from Raceway Park to Flowing Wells Park is approximately 3 miles and usually takes about an hour to an hour and a half depending on water flow leaving plenty of time for dual event participation.
