Tahqua Trail Runs take place Saturday, August 14, 2027 at Tahquamenon Falls State Park in Paradise, Michigan. The event offers three measured trail distances:
- 50K

Courses follow the Tahqua Trail and the North Country Trail, passing through spruce swales, pine ridges, lush bogs, Jack Pine savannah, and lakes named Camp 10 and Water Tank. The routes include sections on the Lower Falls trails and the River Trail, which runs beside the Tahquamenon River and features old growth hemlock and yellow birch. Key landmarks include Lower Tahquamenon Falls and Upper Tahquamenon Falls near the finish area.
Aid stations are provided along the courses and are mostly vehicle accessible. Stations offer cold water, Gnarly electrolyte drink, and light snacks. Runners are required to carry a 20 ounce water bottle or other functional hydration system that can be refilled at aid stations. Shuttle service transports runners to some start locations; 25K runners must park at the Upper Falls parking lot and use the shuttle. Drop bag storage is available near the start and finish areas.
The event limits entries to 250 runners. Time limits apply for each distance. All finishers receive a commemorative award and podium awards are given to the top three male and female finishers in each distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
