What the Sam Hill!? COVID-19 may have caused us to cancel our annual Hospitality Classic, but it can’t keep us from getting our run on! We’re offering a virtual opportunity that everyone can get excited about. Sign up today and we’ll send you a super awesome “What the Sam Hill!?” t-shirt and a pvc keychain (because who really wants a participation medal). No chips, no bibs, no time, no set distances. Run / Walk / Bike / Skate / Skip / Whatever / any distance you wish, at your own pace, anywhere in the world! We ask that you get your exercise on sometime between October 17-31, 2020, and then post a picture to your social media letting everyone know about it!

Who is Sam Hill??

Sam Hill (1819-1889) was the legendary surveyor and mining expert who allegedly swore so badly that it was commonplace to use his name as in “What the Sam Hill” to replace swear words. Hill worked with Dr. Douglas Houghton  on the first geological survey of the Upper Peninsula in 1845. He was later involved with the sale of land and the building of roads and canals in the area. He was twice elected to the Michigan state legislature. In later years, he summered in the U.P. and wintered at his home in Marshall. In the 1930’s, he was featured in the informational cartoon, “Believe It Or Not” by Robert Ripley.
