About the Relay
The FRED Running Relays started in 2011 and is the staple TEAM challenge, in West Michigan. Teams of various sizes will work together to conquer their chosen distance, on the beautiful White Pine Trail. Course maps will be available and teams will transport in a vehicle, from one exchange area to the next, rotating runners, working to the ultimate finish line, in Belmont, Michigan.
The FRED Relay races consist of 25-Mile, 50-Mile, 100-Mile and 200-Mile Relay options, spanning the White Pine Trail from Belmont to Cadillac Michigan. Think you have what it takes? Gather your crew and get started!

The FRED 50 Mile Relay: Includes 11 “spurs” or legs, from Big Rapids to Belmont. There are two, team options: The standard 6-11 person and the Youth option with 6-11 members
The FRED 25 Mile Reay: Includes 5 "spurs" or legs, from Sand Lake, past Third Nature Brewing, to Comstock and back to Third Nature. We are really flexible with how many people are on a team. Some will have one person who runs all 25 and some will have 5 or more members. We stay flexible, because this whole run is in the day light and a shorter distance. We want to keep it loose and fun.
