SUMMARY:MTGA’s Michigan Trails 2050 Summit July 8 in Gaylord
DESCRIPTION:Imagine a Michigan where trails seamlessly connect communities\, promote health and wellness\, and fuel economic growth. This is the vision behind Michigan Trails 2050\, a collaborative initiative led by the Michigan Trails and Greenways Alliance (MTGA) to create a roadmap for the future of trails in our state. \n \nTrails are unique in the way that collaboration and coordination is required to plan\, build\, and promote sustainable use and maintenance. A statewide trail planning and public engagement effort at that scale last took place in 2007\, creating the “Connecting Michigan” plan. This update to the plan will involve diverse stakeholders from across the state representing government\, community organizations\, businesses\, and public and private funders. \nAs part of this statewide effort\, we’re seeking to create space for better communication and coordination between public and private stakeholders\, to build a shared plan and vision that integrates trails more effectively with local\, regional\, and state master plans. \nMTGA is holding six regional summits across the state to bring together important perspectives from each part of Michigan. Each summit will include a trail experience\, a panel of regional experts\, and a featured speaker. \nThe nearest regional summit is July 8 at Treetops Resort in Gaylord.

SUMMARY:2025 Tap Into the Trails 5k and 10k
DESCRIPTION:The Cheboygan area is excited for you to explore all of the trails in their region. Join us for the second annual Tap into the Trails 5k or 10k to explore Cheboygan and the trails available to you from the heart of town. \nMore details about the event’s other activities are coming soon. \nThe Top of Michigan Trails Council’s 5k and 10k run/walk will illustrate how easy it is to access the North Central State Trail from downtown Cheboygan. These routes offer a fairly flat course on both pavement and crushed limestone. \nThe 10k course will highlight both the North Central State Trail and the North Eastern State Trail\, starting from Festival Square in Downtown Cheboygan. Please note\, a portion of this course will be on road. The Cheboygan Police Department will help keep traffic at bay to keep you safe. \nEvent proceeds will benefit trails in northern Michigan. \nIn addition to the run/walk event\, the Cheboygan Trails Council will lead the Barbara C. Hoffius Nature Preserve Bicycle Ride Tour. \nBeginning at 8:30 a.m. at Festival Square\, Jim Conboy will lead an out-and-back bike ride north on the North Central State Trail to the Hoffius Preserve just off U.S. 23. The total round trip distance is 15.5 miles. A volunteer will sweep to make sure no one is left behind. Once at the preserve\, bikes will be left at the entrance with a volunteer\, and riders will walk about a half mile down to the shore of Lake Huron\, where the beauty of the lake can be appreciated. Total time for this ride is approximately 2.75-3 hours. \nWhile the trail is flat\, riders should be prepared to ride the distance comfortably. It is not a ride for young children. Since the path to the shore of Lake Huron includes steps and uneven ground\, comfortable walking shoes are advised. Helmets are encouraged.
