Description

Join TriToFinish for our fourth round at the 38th Annual Mud Creek Crawl! With 3 Crawls now under our belts, we’re excited about returning in 2017! 

Originally presented by the Tri-City Nordic Ski Club, led by Don Kane, continued under the direction of John McPeak and presented by Midland County Parks and Recreation Department, the MUD CREEK CRAWL has become a nationally recognized off-road race (RUNNER'S WORLD's choice as one of the nation's Top 13 Out-Of-The-Way Races) and this year you can be a part of it!

For those new to this event, top finishers are determined through the use of a handicap system of scoring: each entrant will have his/her actual finish time adjusted by a body type/composition factor and an age/gender factor. This handicapping allows each runner an essentially equal chance to win in his/her chosen race. 

As always, you can expect our signature TriToFinish race experience, even lost in the woods! You’ll get personalized finishes, custom finisher medals, music, professional timing and FREE finisher photos. As in past years, we will be capping this race at 250 registrants so act fast to avoid missing out on one of Michigan’s premier trail races! 

Event details and schedule

Date: Sunday, September 24th, 2017

Start Time: 9:30 AM

Location: Pine Haven Recreation Area

Address:  1490 W Maynard Rd, Sanford, MI 48657

 

Course Description

The trail surface is natural turf, sand, or (hopefully) mud, depending upon the pre-race weather.  10k runners will complete a different course than the 5k runners/walkers so be sure to consult the map button further down the guide.  Please understand that the course may be slightly different from what you see on the map, but that the course will be VERY WELL marked – even better than last year.  There will be two aid stations available along the course.  If you need more nutrition or fluids than that, please plan ahead and carry your own.

  • Sunday, September 24th, 2017 from 6:00-9:15 AM at Pine Haven Recreation Area*

Refund Policy

We completely understand that plans change and athletes will sometimes be unable to compete in an event they've signed up for.  Unfortunately, refunds will not be provided for any event unless the event is cancelled for reasons that the Organizers can control.

 

Should an athlete have an injury or other medical issue keeping them from competing in an event they've registered for, then we would be happy to transfer their registration to a similar event up to and including the same event the following season.  A physician’s proof of injury or ailment may be required.

Transferring registrations to other athletes is NOT allowed.
