The North Country Run

August 29th 2026
Grand Rapids, MI
50 KM | 50 Miles

The course is a well marked 25 mile loop. The trail is a single-track hiking trail with enough hills to make for a challenging race. There is no high altitude to contend with, no rocks to jump over, and no stream crossings to wade through, just a beautiful forest with a few roots to remind you you’re not on pavement. Crews can attend to their runners at several points.
