Noquemanon Ski Marathon : event overview

The Noquemanon Ski Marathon is a multi-distance cross-country ski event organized by the Noquemanon Trail Network, a nonprofit that maintains an interconnected, year-round, non-motorized trail system in Michigan’s central Upper Peninsula. The event includes on-course aid stations, a bus system to remote start areas, and on-course medical and search-and-rescue support.

Entry fees vary by event and date, with early and late registration tiers listed for each distance. Some categories have free entry, and a youth discount is offered for participants age 24 and under. All entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable; participants must sign a release and indemnity agreement when registering.

Race operations and participant services described include:

Mandatory busing to certain start areas where parking is limited.
Aid stations stocked with water, Hammer Nutrition HEED, and select gels; skiers are advised to carry personal water and energy.
Timing provided by a professional timing company; results are posted after the event.
A virtual option with mailed bib and hat and eligibility rules distinct from in-person awards and wave placement.
Safety and etiquette rules such as no earbuds, respect for landowner access, and restrictions on course use outside race waves.
A policy allowing fluorinated wax but encouraging non-fluorinated products and prohibiting fluorinated wax application inside a designated trailhead building.
