We are proudly sponsored again this year by Queen City Running Company!The Marquette Trail 50 consists of 50-kilometer and 50-mile distances.The course is mostly single-track, climbing the 4 peaks: Sugarloaf, Top-of-the-World, Bareback, and Hogback. All the Peaks have views of Lake Superior, and portions of the course skirt its shoreline. Much of the trail consists of moderate to difficult terrain with some very significant climbs and technical areas.According to Ultrarunning Magazine, the course is rated 3 out of 5 for Terrain ("Hilly"), and 4 out of 5 for Surface ("Trail with substantial rocks, roots and/or ruts").We will also be hosting a 1 mile trail race for kids on Friday evening at the Forestville Noquemanon Trailhead.
