‘Au Sable’ - Emmy Award Winning AuSable River Canoe Marathon Docuseries - River, Race, Legendary!

‘Au Sable’ - River, Race, Legendary! The full 90-minute version of the Emmy Award-winning AuSable River Canoe Marathon Documentary

Hailed as one of the most challenging and grueling canoe races in the world, the Consumers Energy AuSable River Canoe Marathon has a history with as many branches as the Northern Michigan river itself.

Created in collaboration with the Consumers Energy Production Team and narrated by Detroit Pistons and Michigan State Spartans announcer George Blaha - "Au Sable", the three-part docuseries - tells the story of the river, the race, and the legends that have shaped the 75-year history of the race

Told through exclusive interviews with some of the race’s most iconic figures, “Au Sable” provides a rare glimpse into what it takes to conquer the challenge of a lifetime. From world-class champions to hometown heroes, the 120-mile race invites all challengers to test their will. Through the years, the marathon has blurred the lines between teammates and rivals, brought communities together and even helped grow family trees.

“Au Sable” is about much more than a canoe race, it’s the story of how one river can reveal thousands of stories, each one unique but with the same undercurrent, figuring out how to cross the finish line.

👉 A big "Thank You" to the folks at Consumers Energy for helping to bring the history of the event - one of the greatest races on Earth - and the stories of our amazing competitors to this elevated platform.
