Rocket Endurance Hill Climb

Marquette, United States • 12 Jul 2025

The Rocket Endurance Hill Climb is a challenging 6-hour race held at Marquette Mountain Resort in Marquette, Michigan. Participants, either as individuals or in teams of two or four, complete as many laps as possible on a rugged 1.5-mile mountain circuit featuring over 500 feet of vertical gain and steep sections with up to a 60% grade. The course starts at the base, climbs to the summit of Upper Rocket, descends through Upper Rocket crossing Weasel Gulch, and loops back to the base. Runners must collect a token at the summit before returning to the base to tag the next teammate. Spectators can enjoy free viewing at the base area.
