Where: Kellogg Biological Station, 3700 East Gull Lake Drive, Hickory Corners, MI 49060

Please note that the Dec 5th run check in will be in the KBS Auditorium on the 3rd floor of the Academic Building). This location will have bathrooms available. The Nov 7th run check in will be in the regular location, McCrary Hall. 

Both runs follow the 11.5-mile course counterclockwise around Gull Lake. Shorter distances are welcome too (you can opt for an out-and-back), and walkers are encouraged to join us.

Check-in begins at 7:30 AM, and the run/walk officially starts at 8:00 AM. You’re free to head out as soon as you’ve checked in.

November 7th: Check-in at McCrary Hall.
December 5th: Check-in in the KBS Auditorium on the 3rd floor of the Academic Building, where restrooms are available.

Water and hydration: Please bring your own reusable cup or water bottle if you have one! Water will be available at approximately 3-mile intervals on the course and at the start/finish, so you can refill as you go. Let’s keep the lake beautiful and cut down on single-use waste.

Registration: Online registration and a signed waiver are required for each run. Register here: Run Around Gull Lake Registration. Please show your email confirmation (on your phone or printed) at check-in.

After checking in, you’ll receive an information sheet with runner safety tips and reminders. Please keep it with you or leave it in your vehicle. If you’re feeling unwell, please stay home and join us next time.
