RACE DESCRIPTION
This year marks the first official running of the Huron 100 Endurance Run! You don't want to miss being on the ground floor of this epic point-to-point adventure across the Huron River Watershed. This race will take you on an unforgettable journey through 6 State Recreation areas, 2 Metroparks and 1 County Park. It is comprised of 82% trail and has 7900 - 8200 feet of elevation. There will be 14 aid stations (including 5 crew access aid stations) along the course and a reasonable 31 hour cut off.
If the 100 miler is too much to bite off this year, we are also offering a 50 mile option: the Waterloo-Pinckney 50 or WP 50. The WP 50 will start alongside the Huron 100 and will take runners on the ultimate odyssey through the Waterloo-Pinckney area.
A luxurious 10 AM start time for both races will allow you plenty of sleep prior to catching the morning shuttle to the start line at Waterloo State Recreation area. If you are running the Huron 100, the late start will also have you finishing your miles at Proud Lake State Recreation area during the day so you can take a much awaited dip in the cool waters of the Huron River.
PERMIT UPDATE
Our final permit approval has come through! I want to thank everyone for their patience in waiting for us to clear the final hurdles.
As a result of permit requirements and construction, there are some minor changes to the course that everyone should be aware of.
- Silver Lake road construction: Our way of getting you guys past route 23 is via the Silver Lake road underpass, which is currently under construction so MDOT can install round-abouts. We have been authorized to still use this underpass as construction work will not be occurring at that time.
- The race cut-off has been updated to 31 hours (originally 33 hours). This should still be quite generous given the course difficulty and we will reasonable given this is our first year doing this.
