Two Hearted Trail Runs: Saturday June 12, 2027
Two Hearted Trail Runs offers three trail distances near Paradise, Michigan, on the shores and inland forests of the Little Two Hearted River and Lake Superior.
- 50K
- Marathon
- Half Marathon
The courses combine mostly single track with some dirt forest road or two track, approximately 80% single track and 20% dirt surfaces. Runners on the longer routes follow Lake Superior coastline with high bluffs and shoreline forests, travel along Culhane Lake and the Little Two Hearted River, and pass through areas of old growth white pine. The half marathon follows a loop that includes the southern ridge above Clark Lake. All races finish near the Upper Tahquamenon Falls, with the finish area about 200 meters from Camp 33 Brew Pub.
Aid stations are spaced about 5-7 miles apart and are accessible by vehicle. The first on-course stop is hydration only; subsequent stations offer packaged snacks, fruit, water and Gnarly Fuel2O. Runners are required to carry a 20 oz water bottle or a functional hydration system that can be refilled. The 50K field requires prior completion of a marathon or ultra. The course is marked with colored flags, directional arrows and mile markers.
Additional logistics include bus transportation from the finish area to the start and gear bag transport back to the finish. Entrant limit is 400 runners. 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.
