A sea of maize and blue… if this sounds good to you, then this is your race. From kids in strollers to adults that are are the mature side, everyone was showing their U of M spirit.
The race takes you around campus and gives you a great view of the architecture that the University is famous for. The finish is at the 50 yard line of the famous Big House and is played on the giant scoreboard.
Communication about the race is plentiful and packet pick-up was smooth. It was held at Crisler Arena and the M Den was open to purchase your hard to find U of M apparel.
Overall, a very good time and a must do.
Awesome race
