- Water Safety -
After the race, enjoy a beautiful day at the beach! But before you go, please learn more about Lake Michigan rip tides. These powerful currents can quickly pull swimmers away from shore, and they can be deadly.
Here are some tips for staying safe in Lake Michigan:
- Always swim in a designated swimming area with lifeguards on duty.
- Never swim alone.
- Be aware of the water conditions and pay attention to any warning flags.
- If you get caught in a rip current, don't panic. Swim parallel to the shore until you are out of the current, then swim back to shore.
- IN THE NEWS
Thank you to our lifeguards for all they do to keep us safe!

Most Helpful Review
No medals / No Response
Race started early without prior any announcement. Was told medals didn’t arrive on time and would instead be mailed… it’s been 6 weeks and still no medals or communication regarding the issue. I’ve trying calling, emailing, and messaging through Facebook and no response.
picturesque out and back
POSITIVES: well organized & laid out course easy to follow loop course (straight out then a 180 then back) nice views of Lake good paved path and street nice goody bag quick results friendly crowd & staff good bathrooms excellent free parking close to start/finish NEGATIVES: 2 short but steep hills on way out and back due to hills is not a PR course

Great Race
Beautiful views on an out & back course! Very organized, easy convenient packet pickup, enjoyed the post-race beer! Will do again next year!
Started early and no medals
The race started 4 minutes early with no warning and they said medals would be mailed. It has been a month and I have not received anything in the mail.
