6th Annual Dirty Dog Dash: June 6
Go tooth and claw at Boyne Mountain Resort! The 6th Annual Dirty Dog Dash routes racers along mountainous terrain with a variety of obstacles to challenge even the toughest competitors. This 3.1 mile course incorporates everything Michigan has to offer. Participants will climb over and under obstacles, run through mud, and slip and slide down the slopes of Boyne Mountain before crossing the finish line. Racers are guaranteed to get dirty, so bringing a change of clothes is always a good idea. Defeat the mountain and join the post-party action with your team and fellow competitors to celebrate the completion of a tough adventure mud run. Hosted by Boyne Mountain Resort, you’ll enjoy beautiful scenery at an awesome resort with the company of other spirited people like yourself.
If you’re feeling particularly crazy, wear a wild costume or have a fun theme for your crew. There will be prizes for overall speed and awards for best costumes.
Spectators are welcome to join in the festivities. Invite your “fans” to watch the race and cheer for competitors as they maneuver through the obstacles. There will be live music with Loudmouth Soup entertaining racers and spectators with their covers of favorites from the 80s, 90s and beyond. Food and refreshments will be available before, during, and after the race.

Traverse City Youth Triathlon: June 6
The 2nd Annual Traverse City Youth Triathlon is a fun and challenging event. Young athletes swim, bike and run in this 3-event race that not only promotes fitness but improves your child's self confidence as they cross the finish line on their own.
A great introduction to the sport, TCYT offers a short swim in a lap pool, followed by a safe bike ride and run on a path. Youth triathletes will transition just like adults in secure T1/T2 areas. We strongly encourage friends and family to come cheer on these young competitors for one of the best spectator events of the season.
All events will be held at the Grand Traverse Civic Center in Traverse City, MI. Event proceeds will fund another automated external defibrillator for a local TCAPS facility.
