LAKE SUPERIOR SHORE RUN
Little Presque Isle
Marquette, Michigan

LOCATION:

Marquette, Michigan “Home of the US Olympic Education Center.” Three hours from Green Bay & the Mackinac Bridge, five hours from Milwaukee, WI & Duluth, MN.

SHORE RUN COURSE:

Beginning at Little Presque Isle, the half marathon course runs for 1.5 miles along Lake Superior beaches and then passes pristine Harlow Lake. From there it gently winds up 300’ of elevation to views of the Huron Mountain Range from the top of Bareback Ridge. The course then winds back down to Lake Superior for a 1.5 mile stretch of rugged running from Wetmore  Landing back to the finish at Little Presque Isle. Four aid stations will be spaced evenly on the course. Some sections of the course are extreme.

AID STATIONS **PLEASE READ, NEW THIS YEAR**

In order to reduce our environmental impact. Runners in the half-marathon will be required to carry a 20 oz water bottle or other functional hydration system which they can refill at each station. Fuel belts are available for purchase at Downwind Sports or Sports Rack in Marquette. CUPS WILL NOT BE PROVIDED!! Aid station volunteers will have large pitchers with cold water and cold HEED energy drink with electrolytes and will quickly fill your bottle or hydration system. Simply have it open and ready to fill.  Runners in the 5k must bring their own water bottle to fill at the finish.  CUPS WILL NOT BE PROVIDED! There will be a limited number of cups for the Youth Race, but they WILL NOT BE USED FOR THE HALF MARATHON OR 5K RACERS!
