Tree Farm Relay – 7/26


Get ready to roll out the red carpet and hit the trails at the 20th annual Tree Farm Relay Event at Lakeshore Park in Novi – —our biggest, boldest, most action-packed race yet!

This year, we’re celebrating 20 years of epic racing with a theme inspired by the silver screen. Gather your team of four, channel your inner legends of the big screen, and prepare for a mountain bike relay filled with thrills, chills, and maybe even a few plot twists.

  • Each team is cast with 4 supporting players, male, female, or coed actors
  • Costumes encouraged – bonus points for style and star power
  • 1 lap short feature races (sport) or two lap double features (advanced)

So get your tickets, grab some popcorn, and make some new memories!
