Subject: RE: Best Michigan Races Originally posted by Toefuzz
Unfortunately my calendar is pretty full this year and I don't imagine there are a lot of races after October. With that being said, I'm looking towards next year and am curious as to what races you guys (and gals) would consider the most fun or can't miss races in the state?
Personally I am most interested in sprint and Olympic distance and have free lodging in the Grand Rapids and Petoskey areas so that's where I obviously focus, but I would like to open the discussion to any distance or race.
In the middle of your two locations, I am a big fan of the Ludington Lighthouse Triathlons which are generally mid/late August. The course is great - the swim is in Lake Michigan but it is protected by two piers so you don't need to worry about cancellation due to waves, and the bike and the run are pretty flat so you can just hammer them. It's usually my favorite race of the year.
