Race Details

Located in the remote, wild northeastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan, the Two Hearted River captured the imagination of Ernest Hemingway in his novel “The Big Two Hearted River.” In addition to world class trout fishing this region features one of the most remarkable stretches of shoreline in the entire Lake Superior basin. Runners in the 50K and Marathon will experience this rugged coastline first hand via single track on high bluffs and more intimate shoreline forests. In addition, the race course winds inland along the shores of Culhane Lake and the Little Two Hearted River. The course is 80% single track and 20% dirt forest road or two track. This course has the capacity to transform the way you see nature and the world. The half marathon is a challenging loop that takes runners through old growth white pine forest and along the much loved ridge above the southern shore of Clark Lake. All races finish at the Upper Tahquamenon Falls, second highest east of the Mississippi. Camp 33 Brew Pub is located 200 meters from the finish.

Cool race...very remote

Very cool race....a little buggy....locals said this year was practically "bug-free"...was the most most bugs I have ever dealt with...trail was not what I would consider "maintained", but overall was glad that I did it. They say it It was spectator-friendly...might want to bring your four-wheeler though, roads are sand and/or dirt/gravel, and no cell service the majority of the course, the falls were spectacular, views of Lake Superior were quite nice...actually saw some bear tracks, and the previously burned down Forrest section was cool and surreal. Overall a "bucket-list" type of race. I wanted to make sure and add comments because no one had done so, previously. Add it to your "to do" list of marathons! (Ran an extra mile, and they didn't even charge me extra!)
