Betsie Valley Trail Run

The Betsie Valley Trail Run, held in Thompsonville, Michigan, offers a scenic running experience on the flat, aggregate-surfaced Betsie Valley Trail, part of the Rails to Trails system. The event features multiple distances: a Half Marathon, 10K, 5K, and a 1 Mile Fun Run, all starting at the Webber Sports Complex. Runners enjoy beautiful views crossing Dair Creek and the Betsie River, passing through wetlands and pine and hardwood forests. The race promotes environmental stewardship, donating proceeds to the Friends of the Betsie Valley Trail.
