About this event

The Waugoshance Trail Run follows a remarkable section of the North Country Trail from Cross Village to Mackinaw City, in the far northwestern reaches of Michigan's Lower Peninsula. Over 90 percent singletrack, the course rolls across bluffs overlooking Lake Michigan, through coastal forests and past inland wilderness lakes. The 50K adds a tranquil five-mile stretch along Sturgeon Bay.
