If you haven’t yet run a Great Lakes Endurance trail race — these events take place in the Upper Peninsula and lower northern Michigan — you’re going to want to sign up for one after listening to this inspiring conversation with Jeff Crumbaugh.

We’ve talked about these marathons, half marathons, and other trail distances (including ultra) on the podcast in the past. The very first episode of the MRG podcast, in fact, featured a recap of the Grand Island Half Marathon, one of my absolute favorite trail races — maybe my most favorite. Jeff comes on the show to talk about these races, as well as two new ones being added this fall (for runners and cyclists!). These new races include La Deme Grand Half Marathon & 10K on Sept. 22 on Grand Island, and a 100K and 50K gravel bike race on Oct. 5 on Grand Island.
Jeff also talks about Great Lakes Endurance’s commitment to eco-friendly races — Jeff has a passion and love for the environment and respect for the land, and his enthusiasm and dedication is infectious.
These trail races take you deep into the woods, into the most scenic landscapes Michigan has to offer. They’re truly incredible and gorgeous. The events are smaller, more intimate, too, so the overall experience is uniquely memorable. Learn more here: https://www.greatlakesendurance.com
