Bay City man completes ultra marathon in 
memory of mother 
Wednesday, September 25, 2013, 12:30 pm 
By Jon Becker for the Daily News 
Photo provided 
Michael Spencer is show with his mother, Judy. 
He did it. After months of training, soul-searching and fundraising, a local endurance 
athlete made good on a promise he made to honor the memory of his late mother by 
recently completing an ultra marathon in Manistee. 
Michael Spencer, 36, of Bay City, completed the 50-mile trail run in 12 hours, 29 
minutes and 15 seconds. The course did not have mile markers, perhaps by design 
because, as Spencer noted after the event, ¡°That would mess with your mind. You just 
have to keep running. I couldn¡¯t allow myself to think of running 50 miles. That would 
consume me too much mentally.¡± 
Prior to his mother¡¯s (Judy Spencer) passing, her youngest child promised he¡¯d do 
something special, really put himself out there, to make sure she would never be 
forgotten. Spencer had already completed nine marathons and was driven to find a new 
way to express his admiration for a woman whose courage continues to inspire him to 
strive for new heights. 
¡°The ultra run was my opportunity to tell my Mom¡¯s courageous story,¡± Spencer said. 
That story included raising three boys and a daughter on her own, overcoming an 
abusive relationship, and fighting to the end, a battle that ended when she succumbed to 
ovarian cancer in November of 2011.
