SUMMARY:3rd Annual Stafford's Top of Michigan Marathon
DESCRIPTION:Stafford’s Top of Michigan Marathon – A USATF CERTIFIED COURSE to benefit the Top of Michigan Trails Council and Petoskey High School sports teams. \nIn addition to the marathon\, the race festival includes a 10K race/walk\, two 5K race/walk events and a half marathon. \nThe marathon race will be run on a beautiful course made of asphalt that starts in Charlevoix\, follows the coast line to Petoskey\, and finishes in Harbor Springs. The trail is an excellent venue for runners stepping up to a marathon or seasoned runners looking for a fast time. The trail is relatively flat and perfect for getting a qualifying time for other races. There is a grassy half-mile section run on the bluff in Bay View (to avoid pedestrian traffic). Runners will enjoy many spectacular views of the Little Traverse Bay. Title Sponsor is Stafford’s Hospitality.

SUMMARY:Michigan Mountain Mayhem Gravel Grinder
DESCRIPTION:he Gravel Grinder is a gravel road race like nothing you can imagine. This event is always the first Saturday in October (October 7th 2017) and is limited to 2000 riders. \nThe Gravel Grinder is essentially three races in one. The 18 mile race is flat and easy\, a great race for beginners or even the kids in the family. The 40 mile race is a gravel race best suited for Cross bikes. The seasonal roads have been removed for this route. Expect lots of fast gravel mixed with some tough climbs. The 60 mile race is for the person who wants a true challenge. You get five monster climbs\, lots of fast gravel roads\, multiple sections of tough seasonal roads which have sand\, mud and rocks and also a white knuckle descent. Whatever bike/tire you choose it will be the wrong one at some point. This route will test your mental sanity.

SUMMARY:Kids Biking Club 2017 - Bikes and Books
DESCRIPTION:This is the first of a series of outings for kids ages 7 – 12 this July! Kids bring their own bikes and helmets\, and before the ride they learn a number of bike safety rules\, have their bikes inspected\, learn to adjust their helmets\, and learn about their route by studying a map of the route to their destinations. This first outing is to McLean & Eakin Bookstore\, about a five-mile round trip. At the bookstore we’ll look over a collection of books about bikes and biking. \nThis program is carefully and thoughtfully planned by our Kids Biking Coordinator\, Cindy Okerlund. Adult volunteers accompany kids on these outings. Don’t wait to register–these sessions fill up fast! \nParents can register their kids here

SUMMARY:Bike-a-Palooza!
DESCRIPTION:Emmet County Parks and Recreation is joining forces with Top of Michigan Trails Council to host a fun family event to raise awareness of the Little Traverse Wheelway. Bike-a-Palooza will be held at the Emmet County Fairgrounds on Sunday\, June 18 from 2 – 4 p.m. The event is free to the public\, and will offer a kids bike rodeo\, bicycle demos\, free bike safety checks\, and free pizza\, salad and root beer floats. A recommended donation of $5.00 (individual) or $10.00 (family) will be requested. \nThe event begins with a Fathers Day family bike ride from East Park pavilion. Registration will take place between 1:00 and 1:30 p.m. Family members will be given a token for a free ice cream cone at Bob-In Again. Family cycling groups will travel the Wheelway to the Bob-In at their own pace\, and can then return to enjoy the fun at the Fairgrounds. \nFor many cyclists in our area\, the Wheelway is a favorite route that connects the communities of Charlevoix\, Petoskey-Bay Harbor and Harbor Springs. This 26-mile paved trail is also a destination for many visitors to our area. \nThis event is a celebration of the trail\, but is also meant to point out the need for funding for maintenance. The Parks and Recreation Department and the Trails Council have been meeting in the past months to find ways to approach costly repair needs\, including root cutting to avoid root eruptions that damage sections of the trail and make it dangerous for cyclists. \nFor more information about Bike-a-Palooza call 231.348.8280. \n\n\nEvent poster: 17 poster \n
