Peace Ranch Wilderness 5K/10K Run

Event Overview

Come join the horses at our annual Peace Ranch Wilderness 5K/10K run/walk on September 19, 2026. The 5K is like none other as it winds through hard packed sand roads through the beautiful Pere Marquette Forest. Our 10K has become a favorite of trail runners statewide and is known for its challenging topography and peaceful surroundings. Both runs are supported by the Traverse City Track Club. Our family-friendly space is perfect for hanging out during and after the race. Medal ceremony following the race.
