Heritage Challenge

Welcome to The Heritage Challenge, an all-new timed endurance event hosted on the scenic loops of Heritage Park in Adrian, Michigan. Whether you're chasing your first ultra-distance, want to dip your toes into trail running, or you're a seasoned athlete looking to test your limits — this event is for you.

Choose from a 3-hour or 6-hour race, and see how many loops you can complete on our well-marked, runnable course. With frequent fueling, community vibes, and a course that’s both welcoming and deceptively tough, the Heritage Challenge offers something for everyone — from the 5K-first-timers to the mileage monsters.

Why This Race?
✅ Perfect for First-Time Ultras or Trail Runners
The looped format removes the pressure of long distances all at once — just run one loop at a time. Walk, jog, grind — it’s all forward progress.
✅ Support Every Step of the Way
Well-stocked aid station(s), clear course markings, volunteer support, and post-race refreshments — we’ve got you.
✅ Built for the Bold
Veteran endurance runners will find the challenge in pushing farther, faster, and deeper into the discomfort zone. No two loops feel the same after hour four.
