Coryn and I talk about our own experiences with these northern Michigan races, which include: the Sleeping Bear Marathon, Half Marathon and 5K on Oct. 6 in Empire, Mich.; Traverse City’s 10th annual Zombie Run on Oct. 27; the 5th annual Great Beerd Run on Nov. 10 (which takes place during Traverse City Beer Week, Nov. 9-16 – and there’s a special MRG discount code); the Up North Turkey Trot on Nov. 22; and the Farmland 5K Run and Free for All Bike on Dec. 1 on the east side of Traverse City.
During this episode, Coryn also shares her family’s trip to the U.P. this summer, for the popular Ore to Shore mountain bike races in Marquette.
Traverse City Tourism has a new site, which provides information on special lodging deals as well as other resources. I recently contributed a blog post about great places to see autumn color on a run. You can read it here.
