"Awesome course and scenery" (about: 2002)


COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 4


This course is extremely tough but so much fun. The scenery is amazing...I hardly even felt like I was running 26.2 miles. I would recommend it to anyone who likes a challenge! The fans that were there were great and very encouraging. I had a blast.

Course is in a ravine type atmosphere, lots of hills, narrow paths, some steep grades. You must have done hill training to run this course. There is only one mile (mile 8 and again 21) that is semi-flat on this 13 mile loop. I would do it again if I was closer. A great place to train. There are 37 miles of trails. To get the full effect of the race camp out in their park the night before. I had a great time!!!! Also wear actual trail shoes in case the course is wet.

"Simply the Best" (General Comments)


COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 4


Nobody does it better than Tami and Running Fit. The only reason 'Spectators' didn't get 5 stars is because it was a trail marathon. Hard to pack too many spectators on the trails. If you like tough trail runs, whether it be a full marathon or a half, this run is for you. If you are a wimp, stay home.
Great job guys.

"Excellent trail course & well organized!" (about: 2001)


COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 3


This was one of the coolest marathons I've run. Truly spectacular trail course, great scenery, and good support. Not bad for a race run in 'Hell, MI.' I'd recommend the event to anyone willing to run a tough trail course. The 2001 race had almost perfect conditions so the trail was in good shape--I imagine it could get ugly if there was more rain or colder/hotter temps. Hey, that's what trail running is all about! Only real 'spectators' are those at the aid stations and start/finish line--but they were enthusiastic.
