Immerse yourself in the scenic beauty of Yankee Springs during the ninth annual Fall Festival, featuring an array of challenging trail runs through pristine Michigan woods. This year's race offerings include a 10k(ish), a 25k, and a grueling 50k option that doubles up on the longer loop. The courses wind along rolling single-track trails that weave in and out of lush forests, offering runners breathtaking views at every turn. The shorter distances provide an intimate look into the natural beauty of Yankee Springs, while the longer routes allow participants to deepen their connection with the terrain and experience its full splendor over multiple laps. Participants who register by September 12 will receive a long sleeve tech shirt or a Switchback Endurance buff as part of their entry fee. Both options are designed for comfort during your run and serve as mementos of this memorable event. Camping is available in the Deep Lake Campground, located near both start and finish lines, offering a rustic setting right at the heart of the action. For those seeking more amenities, Gun Lake campground provides modern facilities with running water and electrical hookups, ensuring all runners have comfortable lodging options regardless of their preferences. Whether you're looking to explore new trails or push your limits on rugged terrain, Yankee Springs Fall Festival has something for every runner ready to embrace nature's beauty in Michigan.
