This is the 30th anniversary of this iconic Mackinac Island event!

All who register will enjoy a great garment in the Great Turtle tradition, a unique commemorative Turtle medal, goodies after the race and fun festivities! After the race, enjoy Halloween fun at Mission Point and Downtown Mackinac Island for adults and children, great end-of-season sales in the downtown shops, or just spend time enjoying the peace and serenity of the Island's interior!
