Bay City man completes ultra marathon in

memory of mother Wednesday, September 25, 2013, 12:30 pm

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.
