Course and logistics
The course begins and ends near the pavilion in Bellows Park and follows an out-and-back route on South Shore Drive E along the shoreline of Crystal Lake. The roadway is a low-traffic, residential street with an enforced 25 mph speed limit; it will remain open to traffic during the event. The race will be professionally timed by Aldrich Timing. Law enforcement will monitor speed and a courtesy car will move through the race route. Those who wish to walk or run without timing may begin between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m. and travel any length of the route. Strollers and mobility devices are welcome. Parking is available in Bellows Park and along non-private property on nearby streets; parking is limited. All proceeds support Benzie Senior Resources programs for adults 60 and older.
