Come celebrate the Boardman Lake Loop Trail!
The Traverse City Track Club presents Loop The Lake, a 4-mile, 8-mile, and 2-person relay trail race around Boardman Lake, just south of downtown Traverse City. The race will follow the Boardman Lake Loop Trail, which includes mostly pavement, as well as some gravel, bridges, and boardwalks.
The 4 mile event is open to runners and walkers. The 8 mile event is recommended for runners only.
The 2-person relay (4 miles each) will have awards for male, female, and coed teams.

The southern end features two bridges over the Boardman/Ottway River and an extended boardwalk over the Boardman Lake Cove. The west side is pavement, and the northern end features one bridge over the Boardman River.
