Join Endurance Evolution on Sunday, Oct. 6, for a scenic marathon and half marathon in the heart of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Both races start and finish in Empire. The out-and-back marathon course will take runners by the Dune Climb, past Little Glen Lake, and through Glen Arbor, north to Dunn’s Farm Road, with breathtaking views of the Manitou Islands along the way. At the peak of fall color season, this tree-lined course will awe both runners and spectators.

Our town hosts the inaugural Glen Arbor Solstice 5K and Half Marathon on the morning of June 16. The event, organized by local athlete Joel Gaff, will take runners on a 13.1-mile run around picturesque Big Glen Lake, followed by a 3.1-mile run just south of Glen Arbor. We asked Gaff to tell us about his project, Endurance Evolution, and why it’s coming to Glen Arbor (as well as Empire for another marathon in October):
