"***Disclaimer: You can actually just run as far as you want because this isn't a real race***
*** CAR POOLING ***
Feel free to meet us at 8:15 at the carpool lot at I69/I96 https://maps.app.goo.gl/PiBtFaJ4Pnb3KoH28?g_st=ac
if you're interested in car pooling. We normally return mid-afternoon.
Join us at Dark Horse Brewing Co. in Marshall MI (approx. 45 min south of Lansing) for MMR's 6th annual (Un)Official half marathon. We'll have a 13ish mile course planned out that leaves and end at Dark Horse Brewery for anyone interested; however, there will be maps of other shorter routes throughout the town of Marshall. The town isn't very large so it's also easy to forge your own route for a desired distance but 10 mile and 5 mile route maps will be available.
There are no aid stations on the route because it's not a real race so plan accordingly with water and fuel. The route is very rural so there aren't any corner stores either.
The Brewery opens at 11 with a large outdoor beer garden area so if you are planning on running a shorter distance and don't want to wait for it to open feel free to start your run later. After the race, we'll stay for lunch, awards, and raffle giveaways in the beer garden.
We welcome runners of all distances and levels. Post desired time/distance below to identify other runners to run with beforehand. Please feel free to ask any questions below as well."
