AuSable River Challenge 120

FRIDAY, JULY 25, 2025

The Consumers Energy AuSable River Challenge 120 is geared toward all types of recreational, touring and racing watercraft.  It must be powered by a single or double bladed paddle.

The ARC120 is a full-length challenge of the AuSable River from Grayling to Oscoda. It is a good opportunity for paddlers of all skill levels to try the mighty AuSable in an organized event to test your abilities and see how you fare against the course.

The event is a fundraiser for the Consumers Energy AuSable River Canoe Marathon Pro C-2 main event, and helps support our scholarship program.

The ARC120 starts at Borchers Canoe Rental in Grayling and finishes at the AuSable Inn in Oscoda.  The event begins at 7:00 A.M. on Friday of Marathon Week and teams will have until 12:00 p.m. (noon) on Saturday to complete the course (29 total hours).

If you’re interested in competing, please contact arc120@ausablecanoemarathon.org for details.
