    This is your chance to run West Michigan's favorite 25, 50, 100 and 200 mile relay, The FRED!!

    The FRED Running Relays are a fun and challenging TEAM effort, where participants combine to run their chosen distance. You will form a team, plan out who is running which sections and on race weekend, will load up the vehicle and embark on the challenge!

    Our course runs on the FULLY PAVED White Pine Trail, right up and down the heart of beautiful Michigan, through the woods, the country side and around Lake Cadillac. The trail was once the Grand Rapids - Indian Railway, retired in 1985 and now operates as a 92 miles paved trail, stretching from Grand Rapids up to Cadillac.

    25 Mile Relay is Saturday morning, from Sand Lake, Michigan, running south and ending at Third Nature Brewing.

    50 Mile Relay is Saturday morning, from the Big Rapids White Pine Trailhead and progresses south, ending at Third Nature Brewing.

    100 Mile Relay starts Friday night in Cadillac, where runners will work together, progressing south and ending at Third Nature Brewing.

    200 Mile Relay starts Friday morning and is the longest distance, is 36 legs/spurs, traveling from Belmont, north to and around Lake Cadillac, then returning to Belmont. Each leg is between 2 to 9.5 miles in distance. Teams often will use two vehicles with up to 6 runners in each, allowing vehicles to alternate turns being active on the course, while the nonactive vehicle rests.

    Thanks to the efforts of West Michigan Trails Origination, the State of Michigan and events like this, we can enjoy such an amazing and scenic trail. A percentage of proceeds from this event, go to the West Michigan Trails Organization, who continues their efforts to provide more miles of paved and pristine trails, for our everyday use.
