Event Description

Join Gazelle Sports on July 18, 2020 for the 22nd Anniversary of the toughest race you'll ever love!

New this year- choose between 5k and 10k distances!

On the 10k course, you'll catch the quiet of rural roads, the twists and turns of natural wooded trails, then the challenge and reward of a dune climb that will take your breath away- literally!

Looking for breathtaking views, without the difficulty of running up and down the infamous "bowl"? Sign up for the new 5k course- it will offer plenty of hills, and amazing Lake Michigan views, without the difficulty of the double dune on the 10k course!

Registration opens at 9:00am on March 1, 2020!

Lake Michigan RTS combines Road, Trail, and Sand to provide a truly unique race experience along the Lake Michigan shoreline. Whether you’re a road racer looking to mix things up a bit, an avid trail runner, or just a running adventurer, either course has something for you.

The best part? All proceeds benefit P.O.R.T. through Helen DeVos Children's Hospital Foundation.

Please be aware that this is a challenging race- both 5k and 10k routes- you will start out on the road, head into hilly trails, and through soft dune sand. 

A special thanks to Michigan Awesome as our presenting partner for Lake Michigan RTS 2020!
