Race the Sunset in Caseville, Michigan!

The Thumb Coast is a hidden gem in Michigan. Come try this unique inaugural race to run from "sunrise to sunset" from "one coast to another" on Saturday, April 20, 2024. 50 Milers race from Harbor Beach's Lake Huron to Lake Huron's Saginaw Bay in Caseville! Can you make it to the finish line before sunset?

This amazing route follows mostly dirt roads through the thumb. With only 500ft elevation gain for the 50 Mile and 300ft of elevation gain on the out-and-back 50K (50K starts & finishes in Caseville), this event is FAST and perfect for beginners, seasoned vets, and those looking for a personal best. The course will be extremely well marked with great aid stations along the way! We have generous cutoff times, and additional prizes for those who "beat the sun" at Thumb Coast Ultra & Relay.
