You will enjoy our USATF certified courses that encompass the lake on gently rolling hills with breathtaking lake front views.  We have been road racing at Clark Lake since 1976 with the original CL-7.

Truly one of Michigan's premier running events.  You will enjoy our post-race party and awards ceremony at the Beach Bar Patio on the shore of Clark Lake.  All races will be chipped timed by the Michigan Running Foundation.  The proceeds from this event will be used for the continued progress and maintenance of the Thomas R.
