Spring Races Ahead!

Send race sign-up info for our spring calendar

Feb. 21, 2026

Next week, we turn the page from February to March. (March! The month where spring officially starts! Even if it’s not here in northern Michigan!) If you’re putting on a competition between April 1 and June 21 for runners, bikers, paddlers, or other folks on the go, we want to share the news! Here’s how to get your race in the paper: Send an email to events /at/ traverseticker /dot/ com with the subject line “Spring Races 2026.” Include the race name, race date, race location, website address for race information, and/or the website address for online registration. Be sure to send in no later than March 16. We accept submissions in any of the 13 counties in our coverage area: Grand Traverse, Leelanau, Benzie, Antrim, Manistee, Wexford, Missaukee, Kalkaska, Crawford, Otsego, Charlevoix, Emmet, and Cheboygan. Ready, set, go!
