Megan will be there at 8:00 if you need help putting the course on your compatible Garmin watch.  However, cell service at the parking lot isn't great, so please save the course to your Garmin Connect account before arriving (instructions below). Please, if at all possible, have the map available to reference during the run on AllTrails or Garmin (links below).

5 & 10.5 Mile groups lead by Dan, Stef, and Megan

Both groups will start together, but will complete different courses.  Both courses are loops.  All paces welcome.  The longer loop will have ~1300' of climbing. The Garmin estimate is misleading. This course previews the Woodstock course.

5 Mile Course on AllTrails:  https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/michigan/crooked-lake-trail


We’ll all start together at the Half Moon parking lot, so 5 Milers will get on the course from a different starting point than what the AllTrails map suggests, since it has you start at the Silver Lake parking lot.

Partner Run

TURF is an initiative within Black Men Run that promotes trail and ultrarunning to build community, improve health, and increase diversity in outdoor sports.

Its mission is to empower Black men to connect with nature, challenge themselves physically and mentally, and advocate for inclusivity and environmental stewardship in the trail running space. TURF achieves this through organized group trail runs (and hikes), local and regional meetups at trail races, and collaborations and partnerships that highlight representation and foster a culture of wellness and adventure.”

Course on Garmin & AllTrails

Join us for a ~4 mile loop on the hiking trails at Maybury!  You can do one loop or 5!  We'll definitely be with you for 1-2, possibly 3. Do as many as you want. All paces welcome.
