Port Oneida Run
The Port Oneida Run is a multi-distance road and trail event held at the Port Oneida Heritage Center at the Olsen Farm in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Maple City, Michigan. Courses start and finish at the Big Red Barn and traverse the Port Oneida Rural Historic District, passing historic farms, barns, and lakeshore-adjacent trails.
Distances offered:
- 5K - Heritage Trail crushed gravel and dirt; strollers and leashed dogs allowed
- 10K - loop of trail, gravel, and paved back roads with rolling hills
- Half Marathon - mixed dirt, grass, gravel and pavement; includes long steep hill to Pyramid Point
The event uses professional chip timing. Water stations are placed at roughly three mile intervals; participants are encouraged to carry personal hydration. Packet pickup is available only on race morning. Registered participants by July 15 are eligible for a Dri-Fit running hat while supplies last. Entry fees increase after July 15 and online registration has an additional closing date the day before the event.
The run operates rain or shine except in lightning. Pets are permitted only in the 5K and must be leashed and controlled in the farmyard. A National Park pass is required and participants are asked to clean shoes to avoid introducing invasive plant material. Proceeds support Preserve Historic Sleeping Bear.
