Your 2022-23 Fall/Winter Race Calendar

From A (alpine) to Z (zombies)

Biking, running, and skiing. Zombies, turkeys, and Santa’s elves. Mountains (Michigan ones, at least), trails, and downtown roadways. If there’s one thing to say about the fall/winter race season, it’s that there’s no shortage of creativity. We’ve found 25 races across the North from October through March to keep you on your toes in the colder months. All you need to do is bundle up and head to each race’s website for the latest information on registration, dates, and courses. Good luck!
