About this race

The Sgt Preston Yukon King Run began in 1974 and is one of Michigan's oldest running events.  There are two options for the road race.  The 5K Run is very flat and a good option for runners and walkers.  The 6 Mile Run begins flat and transitions to some challenging hills that wind through the Muskegon State Park.  Awards are presented to the top finishers of each age group in a heated tent after the run.  Please, join us for the 53rd year!
