A great virtual race that involved the Strava community! I ended up running 11.6 miles in the 2 hour time limit. It was a great experience with awesome swag (picture above). I really enjoyed participating in the Strava community and giving/receiving messages of congratulations! Ethan Newberry put together an awesome global race!

A great race on a winding path through trees and trails at the Chippewa Nature Center. The t-shirt is very comfortable and the Age Group Awards were laser-etched wood carved medals! The pack was competitive and the race also offered a 5K. The race was very well organized and offered a post-race award potluck.

The Snow Moon Trail Race had three distances: 5K, 15K, and 25K. I ran the 5K and was able to obtain a spot from the waitlist. It was a great race through the snowy trees at night. The trails were lit by LED lights and the moon itself. It was a cold night, but wasn't very windy. The trails were solid ice, so my yak tracks came in handy! Overall it was a great race and I would definitely run it again!

Starting line was at the top of a large hill that overlooks the town of Frankfort, MI. The 5K was fast and the last mile was a straight stretch into downtown. The expo before and after the race was great, had a strong feeling of community, it was great to see so many people out supporting a smaller race! A great road race and weather was exceptional! The pack was fast and I was happy to hit a PR of 24:44!

"This was a great road race. A straight, level course along quiet country roads. This year there were roughly 300 participants. The course consisted of a looping road course."

Running the 10K for the first time this year, made for a much different race experience. For the 5K runners, the course was one single long stretch of country road. The 10K course took us through the woods and off the main roadway, which made for a nice change in scenery and terrain. I greatly enjoyed this race and had a significant PR!
