Run on the Island! Our community, rich in natural beauty and wildlife is nestled in the waters of Lake Michigan. The course of the runs/walks start and end at the Rec Center and will take you past meadows, woods, a vineyard and one of the best vistas on the island.
Enjoy the wildflowers and birds you’ll encounter along the course. You will follow the course markers for your particular event. Terrain is asphalt roads with some gentle inclines, so bring your running shoes accordingly. For more information on Washington Island, go to www.washingtonisland-wi.com.
Tortoise and Hare Time Management will be timing our event this year. Only runners will have chips in their bibs, not walkers. Thanks to support of our friends at Washington Island Ferry Line and Island Lavender. Without their sponsorship we would not be able to do this event with professional timing.
Medical services will be provided by the Washington Island Rescue Squad. EMR's will be available at the start/finish line and will be following the last runners.
All participants will receive a custom printed cotton T-shirt.
We thank all our local sponsors. You can see list of them printed on the back of your T-shirt.
All participants will receive refreshments following the run including Power Bars, bananas, oranges, Gatorade and more.
