The 32nd Lake Superior Shore Run delivered everything we love about this race and more. From first-time 5K finishers to half marathon veterans tackling that challenging course from Little Presque Isle, every story was beautiful.

The way our community showed up - the volunteers, the cheerers, the families waiting at the finish line - THIS is what makes Marquette special.

To every runner who pushed through those tough climbs, every hiker who soaked in the scenery, and every kid who raced their heart out Friday night: YOU made race day incredible.

Thank you for 32 years of making the Shore Run a tradition worth celebrating. Already counting down to next year!

Join us in thanking trail volunteers of both the North Country Trail and Friends of Harlow Lake.

The Shore Run course runs on both the North Country Trail and the Friends of Harlow Lake trails, each maintained entirely by volunteers. Their partnership with the DNR makes the Little Presque Tract incredible to enjoy.

So please thank volunteers with these groups. We couldn't put in a race without them.
