Description
The 1st Annual Independent Bank Blue Blaze Trail Run takes you through
Michigan's beautiful Manistee National Forest's scenic North Country Trail!
There are plenty of hills for the masochists who love them, but not so many that it's silly. The footing is usually excellent, but there are areas where your ankles will thank you for slowing down and watch for roots. Patches of sand will slow things down, but much of the course is pleasantly-packed dirt. However, THIS IS NOT A ROAD RACE. The terrain will be challenging, and may be very challenging if the weather has been unusually dry.
Whether you sign up for the 10k, 5k Trail Run or the 5k Trail Walk spending time on the North Country Trail during Michigan's fall season is what a Trail Town Celebration in White Cloud is all about.
Looking for an extra challenge? Sign up for the 1st Annual White River Kayak Paddle Race Sponsored by the White Cloud Downtown Development Authority. The White River is a small river with a BIG personality. This section of the White River is sometimes shallow, has some quick turns, feisty rapids with rocky runs and low hanging limbs. It is best taken by experienced paddlers in maneuverable kayaks.
The run from Raceway Park to Flowing Wells Park usually takes about an hour to an hour and a half depending on water flow leaving plenty of time for dual event participation.
