Join us for the last run in the Series - Pere Marquette!
WHAT TO BRING: Bring a change of clothes/shoes, the trail may be muddy. Bring a lawn chair. Bring some food/water to carry, and some to put on the food table to share after the run. This is a self supported trail run. AGENDA: 8:30am - 9:00am - Runner check in 9:00am - Head out on your run/walk and remember cover at least 4 miles. This is the honor system! Enjoy the scenery! When you come off the trails, enjoy some food from the table. Share stories of the trails with fellow runners/walkers/hikers. *Remember to sign out when you leave, so I know you're not still on the trails. I will be calling those who do not sign out. Help a sister out with her stress level and please remember to sign out.

CUP FREE: NOTE: This series is CUP FREE! There will be water/coffee at the start/finish line area, but you need a vessel to drink from. In an effort to minimize waste and help conserve our natural resources, no paper/plastic cups will be provided. You can purchase an Ultraspire collapsible cup for $5 at the event. It's light weight and folds up to fit in a tiny pocket. It can be used with hot or cold beverages. It can be used over and over at every trail run.
