Course 2- Run
Athletes will stage in the Little Glen Lake Park parking lot, pass through the starting line and cross over M-109 then continue into the Sleeping Bear Dune National Lakeshore Park.
Competitors will then face an approximately 100 yard climb up the sand dune, bank left around a marker, run a short sprint along the top of the dune, and then make another left for a run down the dune face. Don’t let this portion of the event intimidate you! We have run it plenty of times; it is challenging – but not as difficult as you think.
Once off the dune, a short groomed trail will lead runners back on to M-109 where the running portion concludes with a sprint back to the main event site and into the transition area.
