Top O’ Michigan Marathon Nationals

VIC-TO-RY, noun:

“an act of defeating Mullet Lake, Devils Elbow and Cheboygan stump fields on the second full weekend in August each year”

Top O’ participants achieve to master the Inland Waterway against odds or difficulties. These difficulties entail 5-6′ rollers on any given lake on a rough day, pleasure boat wake, right-hand turns, not running out of fuel, must-make buoys and so much more.

The success of completing the two-day race is each racer’s goal and the ultimate victory!
