Because of flood damage along the traditional course, races have been re-routed to end at McLain State Park this year. Participants and supporters are asked to park at First Apostolic Lutheran Church, two miles west of Calumet on M-203. Shuttle buses will run continuously between there, the starting points, and the finish line.
