2026 M22 Challenge

Voted the best endurance event in northern Michigan, the M22 Challenge is a unique run-bike-paddle event held in the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The overwhelming beauty of the race course and the camaraderie of fellow racers will make this event one you won’t forget!

Run, bike, and paddle your way along this 22-mile course through the Leelanau Peninsula. You'll start with a 2.5-mile run that winds it's way to (and up!) the Sleeping Bear Dune Climb, then you'll grab your bike for a 17-mile lap around Big Glen Lake before finishing with a 2.5-mile paddle out in Little Glen Lake.
