Alden, MI
Entry is $30 now and rises to $35 after Jul 28, 2027, so registering before then saves $5.
The course runs on a mix of pavement, dirt roads, and stretches through the woods, so the footing changes as you go. It starts at a Quilt Show and finishes at a Rummage Sale, which tells you something about the character of the morning. Proceeds support local schools and area nonprofits.
After the race, awards lean eclectic, and local merchants contribute door prizes to the post-race gathering, giving the finish area a town-fair feeling.
