The popular Ludington Lakestride races are scheduled for 2009. Activities will be staged on June 13-14, with the Ludington High School serving as the hub for all activities. The school, on N. Washington Avenue will be used for registration, and the Friday night spaghetti dinner.

Also this year will be a free, one-mile fun run on Friday, June 13. The exact course for this run has not been set. This will be followed by a spaghetti dinner, which is offered by the Ludington Runners Club. There is a charge for the dinner.

Saturday morning the 5K (3.1 mile) and half-marathon (13.1 mile) races will begin at 8:30. Both races begin on Lakeshore Drive and head north. The 5K runners will turn into Cartier Park, following paths there to Rath Ave, and Bryant Road, then return to Stearns Park. The half-marathon race continues past Cartier Park to M-115, Piney Ridge Road and into the State Park, returning to M-115, and also ending in Stearns Park.

Registration is not yet open, but will be handled by Classic Race, and should be available around March 1.
