Mackinac Island Great Turtle Trail Run – Photos From Instagram
Here are the latest photos of the Mackinac Island Great Turtle Trail Run via instagram. If you have an instagram photo to share of your visit to a Mackinac Island Great Turtle Trail Run, tag it with #greatturtlerace and your photos will appear in the photo stream below.
Results from yesterday’s Great Turtle! A road washout meant shorter course but more hills. The “dangerous hill” sign is actually at the start of the race. Nothing like torched quads in the first half mile. Lol! So much fun. My favorite race. Great medals, cool swag (fleece blankets this year). And a beautiful course. If you’re ever in northern Michigan in the fall, put this race on your radar. #greatturtletrailrun #greatturtlerun #runmackinacisland #runhappy #runmichigan #michiganrunner #mackinacisland #fallrunning

I already did my long run for the week but it was so beautiful today I couldn’t pass up the first chance to enjoy highway 185 around the island. Nothing but the sound of the lake lapping the rocks on the shoreline the whole way around! Felt good most of the run and finished strong. #runmackinac #greatturtlerun #running #runhappy #islandrunner #riseandrun #getoutside #hikertrash #runnersofinstagram #runnerscommunity

Completed my first race in 13 years. Ready for my next one already! #MackinacIsland #GreatTurtleRun
Another awesome race on #mackinacisland. It was carey86c and my second run on the island this year. After taking quite a break to nurse a hamstring injury, I was very pleased with the time I was able to put down. Naturally, carey86c finished ahead of me. One more run on the island this year to complete the tri-fecta. We will be back at the end of October for the #greatturtlerun

💪 Today I completed a running goal that has been on my list for many years: The Mackinac Island Trio!
🪻Lilac Run 10K
🌊 Mackinac 8-Miler
🐢 Great Turtle Trail Run (5.7 miles)
I spent a lot of time on the island this year, and it has been so fun and so meaningful. 🌸
I have done the 8-miler in the past and it’s a pretty easy and flat race. Lilac Run and Great Turtle were firsts for me and both had some serious climbing involved. 😵💫
Today was really challenging mentally. It was the most crowded race and super hilly, so it was hard to get into that blissful race flow. I also just had life on my mind. However, I’m glad I did it because I surprised myself.
I have done a LOT of challenging races this year. A 6-hour trail run, a hilly half…and I have found that I don’t care about time but rather the mental challenge of it all.
Going into next year, this will be more important than ever as I train for my biggest challenge yet! 😁

My face when my Garmin connect app finally begins working again!
.
half marathon training: week 3, day 2: this is a recovery week. Yesterday I actually had NO workouts scheduled, which was really nice! Today I completed a “Fast Finish” run, and it felt great. I feel like I’m finally getting the hang out this heart rate training!

JUST A REMINDER: While you are waiting for the fall color season to arrive, the late-summer color is spectacular on Mackinac Island. Here’s a late-summer glimpse of the walkway garden at the Hotel Iroquois on the Beach. (Bonus: the weather forecast for this weekend is looking great for a late-summer color tour of Mackinac Island.)

The 2014 Mackinac Island Lilac Festival starts on Friday, June 6, and goes through June 15. Some early lilacs are blooming, but look for the majority to blossom starting next week. In the meantime, here’s a view of some of the early summer flowers adding their color and beauty to June on Mackinac Island.
