Veterans Memorial 150 - VM150

Veterans Memorial 150 - VM150 Veterans Memorial 150 will be held annually on Memorial Weekend to benefit a worthy non-profit that Runners or teams can pick their point to start and finish.

The Run:
This event will be a 150 mile run across the state of Michigan over Memorial Weekend. The run will start on the beach at Lake Michigan in Ludington, and end at the Saginaw Bay in Essexville. Leg maps and pace chart are found in the "Route" section of this page. Basic food and drink will be provided at 17 aid stations/relay stops which will be staged approximately every 5-10 miles staffed

by volunteers. Pending volunteer drivers, transportation provided back to your vehicle along the route. We envision a group run, but route maps are provided for those that wish to run ahead.

Wrapping up this year, and looking forward to next already. Thanks to Kyler Soucinek, Shannon McCormick, Charles Hurley, Steven Branigan, Sokol Todi, Paul Gilman, Victor Fernandes, Dan Pagel, Reginald Abercrombie, Jeffrey Jackson, Daniel Neilsen, and Dean Smith.

This last wave took us over $10,000 for Blue Star Service Dogs, and a small operating budget to improve for next year.

Thank you all so much for your generosity.

Mission accomplished. 2026 Veterans Memorial 150 had 11 runners that toed the line, seven 150 mile finishers, two 100 mile finishers, and two two runners that were smart enough to listen to their bodies. We raised nearly $10,000 for Blue Star Service Dogs so they can continue to train life changing service dogs for military veterans. We focused on mental health. We ran Miles for Myles. I’m going to check in on my strong friends more, and I hope all of you will give tomorrow a chance.

So many crews came together to support all of our runners, who are tagged at the bottom. Please share this with all of your crews. I’d like to encourage all the runners, pacers and crews to come back in future years.
