Dirty Duel Trail Race
The Dirty Duel Trail Race returns to Robinette's Apple Haus and Winery this Saturday, and it's known as one of the toughest 5Ks in Michigan!

Registration closes tomorrow, and participants can expect challenging trials, fall foliage, and fresh cider and donuts at the finish line. This year, a group of 12 men from Guiding Light will join the race as part of their recovery journey, with proceeds supporting World Vision's Clean Water initiative.
