I saw this, however am a little worried about the water quality of the Cass River.  I live 10 miles from Frankenmuth and this would be a real close race, i'll be a game time decision based on water quality.

Ooooh dang, I thought I had my race calendar finalized for the year but I might have to add this one in. My extended family lives not far away.

Is the Cass River that deep? I seem to remember playing in it on a class field trip, but that was a LONG time ago.

Cass River GreenWay project completed a tolal clean-up of the river. Should be a great swim around a ferryboat and under the Wooden Bridge.

I have been corresponding with the contact at MDEQ on the water quality. They have been working with the Cass River Greenway committee on various projects and most recently completed a water quality analysis throughout the Cass River Watershed.  I asked him for something that could be published – rewrote it for simplicity and sent it back with this approved version.  Here’s what it boils down to …

 

The most recent data (2010) on bacterial contamination by the MDEQ indicates that the main channel of the Cass River met current MDEQ water quality standards most of the time.  Monitoring is a snapshot in time and water quality conditions may change with weather.  The Saginaw County Health Department can assure that conditions are acceptable for public health at or near the time of the event.

Yep, I did the sprint. It seemed pretty well run. It was fun, I may do again this year since it's about 5miles from my house
