About the race
Black Toenail Friday Half Marathon & 7.5 Mile is a Thanksgiving weekend trail race held at Proud Lake State Recreation Area in Commerce Township, Michigan, with parking near the Modern Campground (2928 Glengary Rd). Runners can choose a Half Marathon or 7.5‑Mile loop through well-marked, beginner‑friendly trails, featuring forest, lakes, and rolling terrain typical of late fall. The atmosphere blends competition with camaraderie—campfires, ramen, hot cocoa, and finish-line cheer.
Perks include a custom long‑sleeve tech shirt, finisher medals, and optional hoodie, plus post‑race food and live results. It’s the final race in the Trivium Michigan Mega Medal Series, awarding a final Mega Medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
