What to expect
The Muskrat Run Weekend rolls into Dutch Sport Park in Bloomingdale, October 10 and 11. Sunday's Muskrat Run runs the motocross track with extended loops out into the woods, a fun twist on the usual layout.
Gates open Friday at 6pm. Saturday and Sunday both open at 7am, with sign-up from 7am and practice Sunday at 9am. Gate admission is $35 Friday, $30 Saturday, and $20 Sunday, with kids under 11 who are not racing free. Race entry is $45 per class. AMA membership is required ($49 full year, $35 youth, or $30 for a one-event pass), and Michigan residents also need a $15 District 14 card.
Saturday night brings the Halloween fun: trick or treat at 5pm, Pumpkin Chunkin at 6pm (ages 16 and under, free entry, with handmade trophies for the top three in each age group), and a chili cook-off to follow, with Dutch supplying the chili, water, crackers, cheese, and everything you need.
