Do You Have What It Takes?

Based in Big Rapids, MI, the Hungerford Trail Races start at 15200 220th Ave. (formerly PT Plus, now Habitat for Humanity) and send runners into the Manistee National Forest. Nearly 85% of the course is off-pavement, with singletrack, fire roads, rolling hills, and the infamous Powerlines.

Runners can take on the 15M, 45K, or 50M, with themed aid stations every 3–6 miles, lively volunteers, and plenty of fuel. Finishers earn a wooden medal and event shirt, while daylight 50M finishers claim the coveted Hiking Stick. With a small-race vibe, fall scenery, and community spirit, Hungerford is a challenge worth taking on.
