The Michigan Monster Dash is a Halloween-themed run and walk held at Kensington Metropark in Milford, Michigan. The start and finish are located at Maple Beach by Kent Lake. Finish Line Runs, a race group from the Detroit/Ann Arbor area, organizes the event, typically scheduled for late October. Participants can select from a 1k Kids Dash, 5k, 10k, or half marathon. A virtual option is available for each distance, allowing individuals to run from home, a treadmill, or a local path. The in-person course winds through Kensington’s wooded area and is described as relatively flat, emphasizing the Halloween atmosphere over a challenging route. Costumes are highly encouraged, contributing to a family-friendly feel across all events, from the kids’ dash to the longer distances. The race supports Make-A-Wish Michigan, with participant contributions exceeding $8,000 for the charity. Previous race perks have included discount coupons from Dick’s in Novi, chocolate milk from Horizon Organic, and jerky packs from Jack Link’s.

Winter Trail Fest East is a February trail race at Island Lake Recreation Area in Brighton, Michigan, offering half marathon and 5-mile options. The objective is to race through whatever winter conditions Michigan presents: snow, ice, slush, or mud. The start is scheduled for later morning, allowing runners and ruckers a bit more daylight and a better chance at milder temperatures before they begin on the trails. The half marathon route follows rolling singletrack, while the 5-mile course provides a shorter, quicker introduction to winter racing for less experienced trail runners. Both distances include run and ruck divisions, a distinctive feature for Michigan winter races that accommodates athletes carrying weighted packs. Finishers receive a WTF hoodie and medal. Racers participating in the Summer Trail Fest Ultra can also collect connecting medals as part of the WTF + STFU Trail Series.
