About the AuSable River Festival G.R.A. 10K & 5K
This road race runs through Hanson Hills Recreation Area, part of a broader summer festival on the AuSable River. The course is roads-only, with no walker divisions, so the field tends to move at a steady clip. It has the feel of a race that takes itself seriously without being unfriendly about it.
Check-in and day-of registration happen at Hanson Hills Recreation Area on race morning. A local outfitter sponsors a raffle for running shoes, open to all participants.
