MUSKEGON, Michigan
MAY 30, 2026
5 or 8 hours
Teams of 1-4
Bike, paddle, trek, orienteer
Experience fun and challenging trekking, orienteering, paddling, and biking over some of the most beautiful terrain in and around Muskegon State Park, along gorgeous Lake Michigan.
You and your teammate(s) will race together to find as many checkpoints as you can in the time period. Both courses feature a nice mix of packed, marked trails and off-trail running with manageable amounts of sand, scenic flat-water paddling, and fast gravel and paved road biking (no singletrack trails in the area). Most teams are projected to get the majority of checkpoints within 4 or 7 hours. We will give a bonus hour for each race to help those teams get back to the finish in time so the final cutoffs will be 5 and 8 hours.
