It’s Week 7 of the 62nd Annual Summer Series!

Week 7 is a 6-mile course that starts and finishes by the Traverse City Central Track.

This week is the handicap run! The faster you are, the longer you have to wait to start. Handicaps are determined from previous Summer Series runs. If this is your first event this year, no problem! We will assign a handicap for you based on an estimated 5k time or pace.

Handicaps, in sports and games, is a method of offsetting the varying abilities or characteristics of competitors in order to equalize their chances of winning.

This is a crowd favorite and very fun to watch. Most runners finish within a few minutes of each other. Don’t let the faster runners catch you (but try to catch the runners ahead of you). :)

Signup if free for this weekly event that happens 10 weeks in June-August. Everyone is welcome to run 1, 5, or all 10!
