North Woods General Store is the Hess Lake Run title sponsor for 3. They have been providing all the runners with high quality drinkware for years.
We welcome them back in 2023 with excitement and appreciation. Show your support by stopping in their store or checking out their website.
Nestled in the wooded areas just south of Newaygo, about 40 minutes north of Grand Rapids, Hess Lake offers a very unique and scenic running experience that athletes crave. Far from the “same old” streets and suburbia that runners are accustomed to, the race course challenges even the most avid runners yet offers scenery that beginners can appreciate.
All courses touch the lakeshore drives of Hess Lake. The 5K covers about 1/3 of the lakeshore, the 10K runs once around the lake, and the half marathon does a second loop around the lake. Veteran runners love the course for its uniqueness and challenging hills. Beginners love the course for its scenery and many “unplanned” water stops manned by lakeshore residents who participate on their own.
In-Person Registration Friday July 8th from 5pm-7pm at Trinity Fellowship Church, 53 East 88th St, Newaygo MI 49337
Race day parking at Trinity Fellowship.
