The Ultra Bird 12hr Trail Race

The Ultra Bird in West Olive, Michigan, centers at Pigeon Creek County Park, offering 12-hour and 6-hour races, plus 3-hour rucks and shorter 5K and 10K options. Runners start and finish at the Pigeon Creek Ski Lodge and tackle a 5K loop on well‑groomed, scenic trails with about 165 feet of elevation per lap, including a steady climb and a big downhill each loop. A new Ultra Bird Ruck Challenge invites participants to wear 20 lb+ rucksacks to accumulate miles in 3 or 6 hours.

Proceeds support Run & Ruck for HOPE and Egress Endurance projects, with on-site aid, drop bags, and pacers for some events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
