🚂 The FRED Running Relay MEDAL REVEAL 🚂
When you run along Michigan's beautiful White Pine Trail, it's not hard to put yourself back in time and picture how it used to be a historic rail road path. The FRED Running Relay runs on the path of the old Grand Rapids and Indiana Railway, once used for lumber transport and hauling fishermen to northern Michigan, to fish our great rivers.
Don't miss your chance to gather a crew and take part in rumbling along the path of the 2024 Relay.
Whether the 25 Mile Relay, the 50 Mile Relay, 100 Mile Relay or the 200 Mile Relay, get the coal box fired up and lets roll: https://runsignup.com/Race/MI/Belmont/2018FredRunningrelays
Raise your hand if you've had your race day feelings captured in an amazing image, shot by stellafly. We are happy to announce that Stellafly will be shooting at The FRED Running Relay on July 12 and 13th.
With the newly added 25 mile relay option, we now offer the 25-50-100-200 Mile Relay.
Don't miss out on the fun. Get your team registered ASAP
