Run the Keweenaw 2027
Run the Keweenaw is a weekend of trail races on the Keweenaw Peninsula in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Event distances include:
- 6K Mt. Baldy Summit Run
- 10K Copper Harbor Trails Challenge
- 10K Copper Harbor Trails Non-Competitive Run/Hike
- 2K Junior Trail Run
- 25K Carl Olson Memorial Adventure Run
The Mt. Baldy Hillclimb begins at the corner of Pine and Fourth St in Eagle Harbor and finishes at the peak of Mt. Baldy (Lookout Mountain) outside of Eagle Harbor. Participants return to the base on their own; no transportation is provided.
The 10K Copper Harbor Trails Challenge and the 25K Carl Olson Memorial Adventure Run start and finish at Grant Township Park in Copper Harbor. The 10K route includes Paul's Plunge, the Point Trail 1.0, and harbor views along Fort Wilkins rustic trails. The 25K uses much of the custom singletrack on Brockway Mountain plus classic trails below the Keweenaw Mountain Lodge.
Support varies by event. The Mt. Baldy Hillclimb is self-supported and carrying water is recommended. The Copper Harbor Trails Challenge and the Carl Olson Memorial Adventure Run provide aid stations along the course.
Awards and prizes are given at individual events by age group, and weekend combined awards recognize cumulative results across three weekend events. Door prizes are distributed throughout the weekend. Volunteers help staff the events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
