The modified course for 2024 was pretty popular. We've certified the new course, so we'll be starting behind the pavilion this year again. Looking forward to seeing you in 2025!
Early Start: If you're planning to run more than about 6 hours, please start at the 7:00 am early start. The normal start is at 8:00 am.
The Basics: It’s a winter running event outside Grand Rapids Michigan. YES! THERE WILL PROBABLY BE LOTS OF SNOW ON THE COURSE. The event will be on February 7-8, 2025. It's more fun than you should have with your clothes on.
Marathon: A beautiful snowy course of approximately 4.4 miles. Splits every 1/12th of a marathon. 500 Runner limit combined for full and half marathons.
Half Marathon: For those who couldn't stay awake through the whole movie. Only six times around.
Moonlight 1/6 Marathon on Groundhog Eve: Two loops of the course. 6:30 p.m. Friday. 300 Runner limit.
Course: A total of 12 loops of approximately 2.18 miles on a certified course. Aid stations at 1 mile plus the finish line area. Don’t plan on the course being free of snow.
Swag: Every participant will get an awesome hoodie, finisher medal. Whole and Half-Hog get a stocking cap as well.
