After the Escape to Belle Isle race Jax and Rissa will head out on foot and WALK the challenging, 300-mile, island to island trek across Michigan to Mackinac Island. Along the way Jax will be presented with the key to the city of his hometown, "The Heart of the Metro Detroit," Center Line, MI! Jax said, "I hope this unique journey inspires multitudes to just walk because the benefits are countless."
