About Iron Fish Distillery
We are excited to announce Iron Fish Distillery as our featured distiller at Grand Distillers Weekend. Founded in 2016 in Thompsonville, it is Michigan’s first farm distillery. They have perfected the soil-to-spirit process — from growing their own grain to milling, mashing, and fermenting all on the property — and finishing it with on-site barrel aging, using 1,000 barrels from all over the world.

We encourage those who are already on the Island to take advantage of the earlier start times to reduce congestion in the staging area.
The Start will be outside Fort Mackinac on Huron Road. You may pick up your bib prior to the race – shirts can be received then or you can get it at the finish.

The Zoo-de-Mackinac is a weekend of huge parties with great bands, one of the most scenic bicycle rides in the country, a lot of sunshine, views of the mighty Mackinac Bridge, and one magical island.
This is Not a Race!
The Zoo-de-Mackinac is a collection of outdoor enthusiasts (3,000-4,000) who want to enjoy a little physical exercise together in one of the most beautiful areas in the state of Michigan. The bike ride starts Saturday morning at Boyne Highlands Resort and spans 51 miles along Lake Michigan on a paved road with very little automobile traffic. Riders pedal through rolling countryside and trillium covered forests, along sandy beaches, and are surrounded by breathtaking views of Lake Michigan from 400′ high bluffs. We stop approximately half way, at a unique place called the Legs Inn for a leisurely lunch and to swap stories. The ride continues on to Mackinaw City, where Star Line Ferry boats have been chartered for the ride over to Mackinac Island. Once on the magical island, check into your hotel and stroll into town to forget the aches and pains from the day’s ride. As the evening wears on, the island comes alive with The Gatehouse, Pink Pony, and Horns hosting post ride parties with incredible live bands!
