The course runs past a river, winds through town, and finishes downhill along the Lake Michigan shoreline. That last stretch, dropping toward the water, is what makes this one feel different from a standard out-and-back. Chip timing means you get your results before you leave. A kids fun run follows the main race, looping the festival grounds.
