Welcome the start of fall with the new Betsie Valley Trail Half Marathon, 10k, 5k or 1-Mile Fun Run. The courses are out-and-back on the Betsie Valley Trail starting in Thompsonville at the Webber Sports Complex. The 1-Mile Fun Run is held on the ballfield.
The Betsie Valley Trail offers an excellent flat aggregate trail surface, hard enough for road bikes and excellent for runners. Enjoy beautiful views of wetlands and forests!
A portion of the proceeds from Half Marathon, 10k, and 5k and all the proceeds from the 1-Mile Fun Run will be donated to the Friends of the Betsie Valley Trail.

The 19th Annual Peak2Peak Mountain Bike Classic is held in and around the beautiful, gently rolling terrain surrounding Crystal Mountain.
The race starts and finishes near the base of the front-side slopes.
Riders journey through hardwood and pine forests along rambling two-tracks and flowing single-track on a course that is fast and challenging, but not so difficult that racers new to the sport won’t have a great time.
THE BEAUTIFUL COLORS, HARDWOOD AND PINE FORESTS, RAMBLING TWO-TRACKS AND FLOWING SINGLE-TRACKS WILL HAVE YOU HUMMING WHILE YOU RACE.
This epic event is held in and around the beautiful and gently rolling terrain which surrounds Crystal Mountain and will start and finish right at the resort!
Here are just a few of the great things about this race in particular: first, the venue. The trail system, which includes both Crystal Mountain property and state land, provides some of the most fun riding in Michigan. The hardwood and pine forests along with rambling two-tracks and flowing single-tracks will have you humming as you race. The course is fast and challenging but not so difficult that racers new to the sport won’t have a great time. Plus, the pre-race and post-race festivities at the Mountain are always a good time. While the adults manage to find their way to “adult” activities (read: quaffing cold ones post-race), the general atmosphere is totally family-friendly.
