Event Overview
The 7 Bridges 7 Brews running event takes place in Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan. It features courses that span all seven bridges connecting the downtown island area. Proceeds from the event benefit the OUT House Consortium, a non-profit organization dedicated to developing, maintaining, and promoting non-motorized trail systems in the area. Donations are accepted separately from race registration.
Distances and Registration
The event offers several race options:
- 5K Run/Walk
- 10K Run

Course and Logistics
The 5K and 10K races start on the LSSU campus and finish downtown at Bird's Eye Outfitters, approximately one mile from the start. The courses are marked, and a shuttle service will be available from the finish area to the start before the race. Parking is available both downtown and near the start area on the LSSU campus. The 10K course follows the same initial route as the 5K before extending along the St. Mary's River coast.
Post-Race and Awards
A post-race party with an island theme is held at Bird's Eye Outfitters. The party includes live entertainment, and food and drinks are available for purchase.
