Michigan Cup Marathon/ Hanson Hills Classic Updates
Fri, Feb 15, 2008 - By Justin Andre
Hello everyone!! Just wanted to give a quick update on the Michigan Cup Marathon and Hanson Hills Classic Races.
First off, trail conditions are fabulous!! We are looking forward to hosting both races. Our groomers “Butch” and “Jake” have done an excellent job with maintaining the current trail system, as well as the maintaining the “special” sections that are included on the race courses. There will be some course changes this year, we will be including the M-93 hills into the Marathon Course. Also, Finish for the Marathon will be close to where we finished the MI-CUP Sprints… We changed this so that we do not run into Traffic from the Downhill/Tubing Operations. ALSO. New this year we will be holding a KIDS RACE immediately following the finish of the CLASSIC race on Sunday. Kids 12 and under are encouraged to participate. Participation Awards will be given courtesy of the Grayling Youth Boosters.
