A Trail-Running Trifecta

Oct. 29, 2022

Get ready to run this weekend at the Treetops Trifecta at Gaylord’s Treetops Resort. Why trifecta? Because, if you have the leg muscles and the guts, you can sign up to participate in not just one, not just two, but three trail races. Saturday, Nov. 5, starts off with an easy-breezy 5K at 10am on the newly-crafted single track around ski hills and golf courses at the main campus of the resort. Next up is the 4pm 1K hill climb—300 feet of elevation gain, or six ski runs—for your Saturday afternoon workout. The cherry on top is a half-marathon on Sunday morning at 9am, with a beautiful course that routes you through the Headwaters Land Conservancy, Sturgeon River Preserve, and Treetops Project Nature. All races are limited to 300 people, so sign up before the slots are gone! Registration ($45, $35, and $85 respectively, or $120 for all three) is online only—no day-off registration—at greatlakesendurance.com/michigan-races/treetops-trifecta.
