Meijer Festival of Races

On Saturday, July 6th thousands prepare to run one of four races that make up the National Cherry Festival's Meijer Festival of Races presented by Cherry Bay Orchards.

A 5K, 10K, 15K and Half Marathon make up the selection of races that start on the east side of Traverse City and end on Front Street, in the heart of Downtown Traverse City.

At the end of the race route all participants will receive a fresh cup of cherries provided by Cherry Bay Orchards to aid in the muscle recovery process. 

Prices will increase after June 1 and space is limited for the Chateau Grand Traverse Half Marathon. Register now at cherryfestival.org.
