Marquette Trail 50
The Marquette Trail 50 is a trail running event held in Marquette, scheduled for August 20-21, 2027. The event offers multiple distances over marked single-track and connecting trails. The course uses orange flags and ribbon for navigation; it is uncommon to run more than about 200 yards without seeing a marker. Close marker spacing indicates an upcoming turn or intersection. Runners are advised to backtrack if they miss a marker and to stay on the trail.
Distances:
- 50 km
- 50 miles
- 1 mile (kids, 12 and under)
Aid stations are stocked with water, Hammer Nutrition HEED drink, soda, Hammer gels, fruit, cookies, PBJ sandwiches, pretzels, potato chips, granola bars, and candy. The event is cupless; participants must bring a bottle, cup, or hydration system to refill at aid stations.
Logistics include packet pickup at the Forestville Trailhead on Friday with a very limited option on race morning; ID is required and runners must pick up their own bibs. Parking at Forestville Trailhead is available but limited; preference is given to vehicles with two or more racers, and solo or spectator vehicles may be directed to park 0.25 to 0.75 miles from the start/finish. A mandatory pre-race meeting is held before the start. The event is run entirely by volunteers and proceeds support the local trail organizations and cross country teams. Merchandise orders must be picked up on race day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
