Aravaipa Expands to Michigan

5 September 2025

Announced today via press release:

Aravaipa Running is honored to continue the legacy of Great Lakes Endurance, ensuring that its beloved Midwest trail races carry forward for years to come. Aravaipa will take stewardship of five hallmark events: Rock River Canyon, Two Hearted Trail Run, Waugoshance, Grand Island, and Tahqua Trail Run.

I briefly counted race logos on their event calendar and arrived at 76! events (not races) for the year, and the map on UltraSignup shows the team operating in seven states of the US. (Don’t quote me on these numbers though.)

That’s a lot of races to manage – wow.

Sign up and never miss a story.
