Lake Michigan RTS

Laketown Township, United States • 19 Jul 2025

The Lake Michigan RTS is a unique 10K race held in Laketown Township, Michigan, along the scenic Lake Michigan shoreline. This challenging event combines road, trail, and sand running, featuring hilly trails and steep dune inclines, making it ideal for road racers, trail runners, and adventurous participants. The course runs partly on private property, so detailed maps are not published.

Runners must carry their own hydration due to the demanding nature of the race and hot conditions. All proceeds support the Pediatric Oncology Resource Team (P.O.R.T.) through Corewell Health Helen DeVos Children's Hospital Foundation. Participants receive a premium sweatshirt and designer medal, with awards for top finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
