Thompsonville, United States • 27 Sep 2025

The Betsie Valley Trail Run takes place in Thompsonville, Michigan, along the Betsie Valley Trail. The event offers a Half Marathon, 10K, 5K, and a 1 Mile Fun Run. The Half, 10K and 5K courses are out-and-back on the flat rail-trail starting at the Webber Sports Complex; the Fun Run goes from the ballfield to the trail and back.
