2022 Spring and Summer Races
Time to get in gear—race season is here! We’ve compiled 50+ running, biking, paddling, and swimming races around northern Michigan for you to enter this summer. (It’s also fine if you just want to cheer your friends on from your lounge chair.) This is not an exhaustive list, and more will be popping up as the temperatures rise. We recommend checking each race’s website for the latest information on registration, dates, and courses. Happy trails!
