Fort2Fort Five Mile Challenge
This event takes place on May 9, 2026. It offers a Five Mile Run, a Five Mile Walk, and a Virtual 5 Mile Race.
The start and finish line is inside Fort Mackinac on Mackinac Island. The course uses paved trails, passing historic landmarks to Fort Holmes, which is the highest point on the island, before returning to the start.
All participants receive a shirt, a unique burnt wood medal, and free entry to Fort Mackinac and other island attractions for the day. The event supports the Mackinac Historic State Parks.
The Five Mile Walk requires participants to walk the entire distance. The virtual race option allows participants to complete the distance on their own and submit their time. Packet pick-up is in the Pavilion outside Fort Mackinac. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
