 261  |  Subject: Best Michigan RacesUnfortunately 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. |

Regular 1357  Jenison, MI | Subject: RE: Best Michigan Races Originally posted by Toefuzz 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. Unfortunately my calendar is pretty full this year and I don't imagine there are a lot of races after October.

Expert 868 CALEDONIA/MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN | Subject: RE: Best Michigan Races Ludington is without question one you should consider. Fantastic venue. Another on you should think about is the Dream, Believe, Achieve Triathlon in Dorr/Hopkins...not too far off US-131. I think it's a gem that is going to gain momentum. Check it out at 3disciplines.com. |

New user 80 Howell, Michigan | Subject: RE: Best Michigan Races I really like the Tawas Festival of Races. The swim begins on a nice sandy beach and the bike course is through a national forest, a very scenic ride. My wife also likes this race, there is plenty of things to keep her busy while she waits for me. |

| 261 | Subject: RE: Best Michigan Races Strangely I think my race (Petoskey) and both of the races you guys recommended are put on by 3Disciplines. Small world! Thanks for the input... I will check them out but probably not until next year as I have a few running races coming up. |
