What is the Great Run Across Michigan?

Challenge yourself or create a team with your family and friends to accomplish virtually running the distance across Michigan. Select the 115 mile challenge to complete the distance from Iron Mountain to Copper Harbor in the upper peninsula or the 386 mile challenge complete the distance north to south of the entire state!
Here’s how it works:
1. For Individuals start by getting registered. Teams start by coming up with a fun team name. The first team member to register creates a team during the registration process. After the team has been created, each team member can join the team during their individual registration process.
2. Once registered, pick a day and start the challenge to complete the distance across Michigan where you want and when you want, keeping track of your miles each day using our completion tracker. Individuals in the 115 mile challenge have 40 days to complete the challenge, individuals in the 386 mile challenge have 70 days to complete the challenge, and teams have 30 days to complete either challenge. If you are completing the challenge as a team, your team’s cumulative distance counts toward the challenge (Ex: Jill runs 52 miles, Jack runs 10 miles (slacker), and Bill runs 53 miles to complete the 115 mile challenge).
3. Once you or your team has completed the 115 or 386 mile challenge, submit your results to get your finisher certificate and you’ll have earned bragging rights to say you or your team conquered the #GreatRunAcrossMichigan.
4. Once you have registered, your shirt will be shipped to you right away. Once you complete the challenge, your medal will be shipped to you.

CHARITY PARTNER

Kelleigh’s Cause
Raise Awareness – Fund Research – Cure AVM
Kelleigh’s Cause, Inc. is a not-for-profit charity founded by Kelleigh Gustafson to raise awareness of the rare and life threatening disease Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs).
AVMs are defects of the circulatory system that are generally believed to arise during embryonic or fetal development or soon after birth. They are comprised of snarled tangles of arteries and veins. The absence of capillaries-small blood vessels that connect arteries to veins-creates a short-cut for the blood to pass directly from arteries to veins. Although AVMs can develop in many different sites, those located in the brain or spinal cord – the parts of the central nervous system – can have especially widespread effects on the body. Simply put, it is a birth defect the causes abnormal blood vessel growth.
Due to the rarity of the AVM, Kelleigh’s Causes uses its outreach efforts to create awareness of the condition and help provide information for families or patients with the disease.
Kelleigh’s Cause also funds much needed medical research. All money raised by Kelleigh’s Cause is used specifically to fund basic scientific research into the causes of AVM so we can find better treatments or a cure.
Please explore our website and Facebook page to learn more about AVM and the efforts of Kelleigh’s Cause to find better treatment or a cure for AVM.
