Event Overview

The Pine Mountain 500 is a multi-format event in Iron Mountain, Michigan. The main activity involves racing up the 500 stairs of Giant Pine Mountain.

Event Details

Participants in the main Pine Mountain 500 events start at the top of Pine Mountain. They race down Kramer Drive to Lower Pine Mountain Road/Hibbard Street, then turn onto Pine Mountain Road to race to the Pine Mountain stairs. The event is chip-timed.

The new Pine Muddin' 500 events combine a trail run on a to-be-determined route with the stair climb.
