Sandhill Crane All Trail Half Marathon, 10K & 5K

A GREAT PURE MICHIGAN ALL TRAIL COURSE! RUN OR SPORT WALK A FANTASTIC COURSE!

The Friends Of Cass County Parks (a 501c3) is the Race Organizer this year with Coach Ron Gunn continuing as Race Director for this non-repeat, all trail course. Located in the 820 acre Dr. T. K. Lawless County Park it is a hidden gem in the beautiful southwest Michigan. This natural scenic odyssey of forest and field includes 6 charming bridge crossings, lots of streams and small lakes, and, of course, some hills (aka, “vertical visual breaks”). Sandhill Cranes do frequent this bucolic area, adding charm to the course – take it as a good omen if you see one during your race.

Dynamite custom design long sleeve performance T-shirts to all finishers. (Register by Oct 6 to pick up on race day) Custom laser engraved wood award for top two finishers each age group and race medal for third place. Water and sport drink on the course and a great re-hydration station at the finish featuring fruit, sport drink, Popsicle, potato chips, homemade cookies and water.

Chip timing for 5k, 10k and Half Marathon (Chip timing will close at Noon – course open to 1:30PM). Music DJ at start and finish, and music stations on the course to inspire participants. Finishers in all races from Cass County, Niles and the Granger area will be listed in an HONOR ROLL in the appropriate newspapers. Race benefits the Cass County Parks and the Dowagiac Rotary Club. No parking fee again this year!
