Lowell 50 Races

From the course

The Flat River Race Series announces the Lowell 50 to be run on a loop course in separate Spring and Fall events. The Spring event starts march 31st, 2012, and the Fall event will take place on October 27th, 2012.

Here's a description from the event site:

"Race Description: The Lowell 50 is a classic old world style gravel road race. You’ll race along the banks of the Flat River and through rural Ionia County on approximately 70% unpaved roads. You may choose from either the 50 or 27 mile race, both routes are single loops. The courses are challenging, scenic, fun, and include two historic wooden covered bridges dating back to the mid-1800s’. They are very cool!"

The Lowell 50 will take place just north of Lowell, Michigan, which is straight east of Grand Rapids, Michigan. (There is a map available on the event site) Check it out for a gravelly good time!
