About the race
The Yankee Springs Trail Run weekend takes place June 4-5, 2027, at the Long Lake Outdoor Center in Middleville, Michigan. The event offers multiple trail distances that use the local singletrack and spur trails. The courses run on hilly, rocky trails with visible roots and limited mud due to good drainage. The 10k route records 978 feet of elevation gain and the 25k route records 1,388 feet.
Both courses begin at the Long Lake Outdoor Center, follow the Hall Lake Trail and spur trails to the Mountain Bike Trail, and pass McDonald Lake before returning by the North Country, Chief Noonday, Long Lake, and ski trails. The 50k and 100k distances are two and four laps of the 25k course respectively. Aid stations are placed between roughly 2 and 4 miles apart, with one on the 10k, three on the 25k, and an aid station at the start/finish that includes drop bag space. For the 50k a single pacer is allowed on the second lap; pacers must check in at the start/finish and sign a waiver, may use aid station food, and should not cross the finish line. Lodging is available at the Long Lake Outdoor Center in cabins or bunk houses; cabins hold four to five people and bunks are in rooms with ten bunks.
A bath house with warm showers, outhouses, and basic electrical power are on site. Shirts are included in the race fee, and registration completed by May 1 guarantees a shirt in the requested size. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
