Great Lakes Relay
The Great Lakes Relay (GLR) is a three-day race for runners that crosses the northern portion of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, and sometimes part of the Upper Peninsula as well.〔Official Homepage of GLR〕 It is known for its very hilly, sandy course, heat, humidity and 270 mile length.〔RunMichigan Review〕 It has many similarities with the Great Midwest Relay. They differ in that GLR takes place on much more rural routes. The GLR was first run in 1992, with the finish line being in Mackinac City. Due to disputes with local officials, the finish was later moved to its present location in Empire, Michigan, home of the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes.

The race is broken into three days, each of which usually consists of around 18 legs. The individual legs vary in length from 2 miles to nearly 12 miles. The first two days of the race cover up to 110 miles each, while the last day covers approximately 70 miles. The shortened last day allows for time to relax on the beach and for the after-relay pasta party and awards banquet. Teams are composed of up to 10 people, and they are allowed up to three chase vehicles to support their runners on the course. Often, however, vehicle traffic is directed around the runners both for safety and because the trails are inaccessible by car. The race starts at 6:00AM each day, and the team's finish time is recorded. Times from the three days are then added together, and the team with the shortest time is declared the winner.〔http://www.greatlakesrelay.com Official Homepage of GLR〕〔http://www.runmichigan.com/columns/dougkurtis/dougcolumn_105.shtml RunMichigan.com Review〕
Said one former GLR racer: "In 2013 I took a team of elite runners on the Great Lakes Relay. While the scenery was great and the race was organized well, our team dearly missed the typical obstacles runners of our caliber have come to enjoy. I mean come on! Where were the mud pits, barbed wire, ice ponds, walls with ropes, electric shockers and most of all post "race" parties?"
