Here comes the last full weekend of July, Grayling to Oscoda awaits!

That's right fans of outdoors, outdoor sports, beautiful vistas, water, and of course the famed Shrieking Eels at SpacePunk corner, it's the Grayling to Oscoda canoe marathon!

14 hours of Hup All Night on the AuSable River starting 9pm Saturday evening in Grayling and finishing Sunday morning here in Paddletown USA.

Some scenes from last year's race won by Jorden Wakeley and Matt Meersman in a Secretariat-style run in under 14 hours. Johnny of course won this race in 2020 by himself as everyone else stayed home because of Covid. 

Oscoda is ready, Paddletown USA is always ready for a moment like this. It's the 74th time this race has been run. It gets bigger every year (except the year Johnny won) and the residents and commitment from the town is tip top. 

By the time the racers get to the aptly named Space Punk Corner, and as they desperately try to avoid the shrieking eels found there, everyone should have a pretty good idea who is going to be in a great position to make a push to win the race.

So who will cross Harry's Landing Finish Line first? You can take a look at all the racers here and make your picks. Want to track the race LIVE? Follow this handy link to do just that.
