2023 RECAP

2023 proved to be tricky, the later date brought a significant amount of rain
and cool air. For those that don’t know, the absolute awesome thing about our
area is the high sand content - ok so sometimes that is not so awesome but we
try very hard to navigate around sand pits of doom, anyways sand drains
incredibly fast!

Riders that chose to race were greeted with primed gravel and a great day of
racing!

While we were getting used to our new venue there are a number of items as RF
Race Directors that we have tweaked for 2024. We are always changing and will
continue to do so as we strive to make the RF races a premiere experience for
everyone involved.

NOMI Racing, the parent of the Rusty Fish and Run the Pier races tries to
facilitate fundraising opportunities for our local charities such as the
Lakeshore Child Advocacy Center and Stomp out Cancer. As we continue to grow our
ability to help fundraise for these important organizations gets stronger.

We hope you join us for this year’s Rusty Fish on October 5th 2024!

Item 1 of 7

*other thought provoking items

The Rusty Fish was designed to show Manistee County that off the beaten path
gravel and trail-ways can interconnect to a much broader Northern Michigan Trail
system. The Rusty Fish routes showcase our beautifully wooded forest areas and
scenic rivers.

As the RF has continued to develop, going from a singular 100 mile there and
back - originally Manistee National Golf & Resort to Iron Fish Distillery and
back.

One of our greatest assets here in Manistee County is also a hinderance to our
routes in some ways. The river crossings are miles and miles apart which
generally means having to route through High Bridge Road in order to connect to
the north part of the county.

While we have tried to make the RF routes as accessible as possible they are
always changing, maybe one year featuring countryside, another deep forest, or
following a river.




HERE.

if you want to know exactly what you are going to accomplish.

2024 Routes have varied from what we’ve had in the past.

You will find mixed surfaces including pavement, gravel, sandy gravel, two
track, and straight up sandy two tracks.

The Full Metric will provide a challenge - as will the 1/2 Metric. We’ve been
able to keep the hills to a minimum but there will be some sticky sand in areas,
especially if it is dry.
