What is referred to as the Third Coast of the United States, Lake Michigan holds a special place in our hearts. We’ve all vacationed there, frozen our butts off swimming in August, watched incredible sunsets and searched for Petoskey stones.
While we might not be able to visit all the Great Lakes this summer, we wanted to create a challenge that keeps you connected to the ‘Best Kept Secret’ of the Midwest.
The first of the Series highlights the most popular lake; Lake Michigan. At nautical miles long, we think this is the best first challenge to tackle. Run, walk, wheel or swim 494 km/307 miles (and log it!) to start your journey across the five HOMES (Lake Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and Superior).
