Marquette Trail 50

The Marquette Trail 50 is an ultramarathon event held in Marquette, Michigan's Upper Peninsula, featuring 50-kilometer and 50-mile trail races. The course is predominantly single-track, challenging runners with moderate to difficult terrain, significant climbs, and technical sections. It includes four peaks—Sugarloaf, Top-of-the-World, Bareback, and Hogback—with scenic views of Lake Superior and portions running along its shoreline.

The event also offers a competitive 5K and kids' races on the preceding Friday evening. Known for its rugged trails with rocks and roots, the race emphasizes self-sufficiency and navigation skills. Volunteers are welcomed, with incentives including future race entries. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
