The Heritage Challenge

The Heritage Challenge is a timed endurance event held at Heritage Park in Adrian, Michigan. Participants choose between a 3-hour or 6-hour race and complete as many loops as possible on a looped course of roughly 1 mile to 5K, through a mix of park trails, grass, and paved paths with little elevation. The format emphasizes a runnable, well-marked course that supports gear access and frequent fueling. The event, presented by Lenawee Endurance Club, emphasizes community, with supportive volunteers, aid stations, post-race refreshments, and finisher awards. It’s ideal for first-time ultras and trail runners seeking a loop-by-loop challenge in a welcoming atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
