Athletic Brewing and Les Cheneaux Distillery will be in town as our brew sponsors to add to your enjoyment with their tantalizing selection of 7 brews! Proceeds benefit OUT House Consortium, a non-profit organization, to develop, maintain and promote the non-motorized trail systems in the Sault Sainte Marie area. A donation button is available for anyone who is or is not partaking in the run or walk but still want to support the improvement of our recreation trails.

Running
5K Run/Walk
The 5k is a run or walk. There will not be a separate walk division for awards, but you are welcome to walk the entire 5k!
10K Run
The 10k is a run only event. If you do have to take walk breaks that is ok too! For time purposes we don't want you to miss the awesome island post race party back at Bird's Eye Outfitters.
