Join Dig Deep, Blake’s Hard Cider Co., Jolt Credit Union and Bayne’s Apple Valley in presenting the 7th Annual Snow Moon Trail Run! The Snow moon is a traditional name for the full moon that occurs in February in North America. This event has hearty trail runners embracing the snow and cold air temperatures with a unique race through the dark night with cool LED lights marking the path along with what might be the most festive “aid station” ever at a race!
Runners embark on one of several race distance options – 5k, 15k or 25k – along a 5k loop of wide trails (not single track) through the woods of City Forest in Midland, Michigan. Those participants completing multiple laps (15k and 25k) will run through a chute located at the venue area alongside the Snow Moon event tent (where the finish line is located). Back by popular demand: participants in the 5K event may choose to run during daylight hours in an afternoon event prior to the night race kicking off. Those running the daylight 5K will also be able to register for one of the evening events.
A portion of proceeds will benefit the Eagles of Midland 2110 and their community efforts.

The Snow Moon race has a daytime 5K option and nighttime races of various distances. To get the full experience of the race I would recommend the night session. But for me this year, the daytime event fit better in my schedule and I’m glad I could do it. Coming in first (and setting a course record in the process) didn’t hurt my perspective of my time either 🙂 Depending on the weather, footing can be tricky with melting/refreezing on the trails but this year the trails were in good shape with only a few problem spots.
