A number of important items for you to review prior to race weekend:
PACKET PICKUP. Please note packet pickup times are Friday, August 19, 2022 from 4:00PM – 8:00PM at Forestville Trailhead. There will be a very limited and last-minute pickup option on Saturday morning from 4:45am – 5:15am – we cannot accommodate a large number of racers so please only exercise this option if completely necessary. Directions can be found on our website. ID is required at packet pickup, and you must pick up your own bib (we will not give your bib to somebody else).
MERCHANDISE. A limited selection of t-shirts, towels, BUFFs, gaiters, glassware, etc. will be available for purchase at packet pickup.
PARKING. This year ALL racers will be allowed to park at Forestville Trailhead on Saturday. However, parking is limited and preference will be given to those racers who carpool with at least one other racer. Vehicles with two or more racers will be allowed to proceed up to the parking lot. We will have parking attendants checking bibs. If you are the only racer in your vehicle, or if the vehicle has spectators and will be driven away immediately after the start, you will need to park in a designated area along the road (0.5 – 0.75 miles from the Start/Finish) as directed by our parking attendants.
WAVE START. In effort to create an enjoyable race experience for all, this year we will be starting the race with an elite wave at 5:30AM for those interested in competing for top three finisher awards and/or course records. The elite wave will be followed by three additional waves at approximately 5:32AM, 5:34AM, and 5:36AM. Please seat yourself based on your typical finishing place in a race field (e.g. Wave 1 – Top 1/3; Wave 2 – Middle 1/3; and Wave 3 – Bottom 1/3). Be assured that the race is chip-timed (your time does not start until you cross the start line) and aid station cut-off times are adjusted accordingly. We only want a safe and enjoyable trail experience for all runners so please seat yourself appropriately. Further instruction at the mandatory pre-race meeting at 5:15AM.
CUT-OFF TIMES. There are aid station cut-off times for both the 50K and 50 Mile events. Due to the nature of our course, with respect to the safety of participants and our volunteers, these cut-off times will be strictly enforced. Please respect our volunteers and turn in your bib if requested. Please reference our website for specific cut-off times.
DROP BAGS. We will have a designated area for drop bags near the start/finish line for racers that want to either leave a bag at Forestville Trailhead Aid Station (Mile 11, Mile 31, and Mile 50) and/or have a bag transported to Harlow Lake 1st Bridge Aid Station (Mile 21 and Mile 41). Please label your gear with name, bib number, and contact number. There is also a drop box at the Forestville Trailhead Aid Station (Mile 11) for headlamps – please label your headlamp and retrieve at the finish line area.
CUPLESS. MT50 is a cup-less event and we will no longer have disposable cups at aid stations. Racers will need to bring their own hydration system(s) and carry a collapsible cup for soda, Hammer, pickle juice, etc. We do have a limited number of reusable Hammer cups (free of charge) at packet pickup if you need a cup. Please be patient with our aid station volunteers!
COURSE MARKING. The trail is marked with orange flags and ribbon. It would be rare to run more than 200 yards or so without seeing any markers. If you have gone longer and not seen any markers, you might have taken a wrong turn. If you notice markers close together, we are trying to tell you to pay attention - a turn or intersection is coming. Backtrack if you make a mistake. DO NOT go off trail or bushwhack! To avoid confusion, we will add extra signage on the trail where possible. However, understand the general design and flow of the race course. Consider bringing a race map, just in case.
HEADLAMPS. The first 1.5 miles is a wide, Nordic ski trail “roll-out” section that brings you into the technical Noquemanon Trail Network (NTN) singletrack trails. It will be dark at this point, and for the first hour or so of the race. A headlamp or hand-held light will be necessary. Lights can be dropped at Aid Station #1 or Aid Station #2 (you may have a drop bag at Aid Station #2). Please label your light!
SAFETY. Our race is on technical trails with substantial rocks and roots, a variety of wildlife, and several areas with no cell phone reception. Please be aware of your surroundings and changing trail/weather conditions. Be prepared by reviewing the course map and race instructions you’ll receive with your race packet carefully. Also, please leave us with an emergency contact name and number. You must SHOW YOUR BIB NUMBER at EVERY AID STATION and IF YOU NEED TO DROP FROM THE RACE FOR ANY REASON, YOU MUST TURN IN YOUR BIB TO A RACE OFFICAL (you can collect your bib at Forestville Trailhead after the race). We need to know that you have left the race course, so we are not looking for you. Please be considerate to our volunteers.
ROAD RULES APPLY. The trail shares and crosses gravel and paved county roads. Be aware that these roads are not closed, and for the most part, drivers are unaware of the race. PLEASE USE CAUTION AND RUN AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS! There are also two crossings of CR550 speed limit is 55MPH and there is significant mining truck traffic! Crossing guards will STOP and assist you. We do NOT stop road traffic!
TRAIL AWARENESS. Share the trail with your fellow ultra-friends: Understand general trail running/racing etiquette and keep a safe distance between you and the person in front of you. Trails may have mountain bikers, hikers, {unleashed} dogs, and motorized vehicles. Wolves, cougars, and bears have been seen in the vicinity. Be cautious, transporting medical aid would be difficult.
CAUTION. Lake Superior and other waters can be very refreshing. The water is EXTREMELY COLD! Realize your body may go into shock if you are not ready for the temperature change. Passing out is possible. An additional trail consideration: Cliffs near Lake Superior may be undercut. PLEASE BE CAREFUL!
SPECTATORS. If you are interested in watching the start you may park on one side of Forestville Road (parking attendants will direct you and there are signs) only if you are leaving shortly thereafter. There is absolutely NO PARKING on County Road 550. If you are trying to see your racer at the Sugarloaf Aid Station, please park in the new (and much larger) gravel Sugarloaf Lot (you’ll come to this lot first heading from Marquette). You’ll be able to walk a short trail thru the woods to the old “paved parking lot” where the aid station is located. Parking on Harlow Lake Road is also very limited (only allowed on one side) and these aid stations are difficult to get in and out of – it’s an unpaved road with two-way traffic and only enough room for one lane traffic. Most trailhead parking also requires a Michigan State Parks & Recreation Pass. Absolutely no glass allowed at aid stations and dogs must be on a leash. Pack out any trash. Any violations risk us losing our permits for this event!
AID STATIONS. Aid stations will have: Water, Hammer Nutrition HEED Drink, Soda, Hammer Nutrition Gels, Fruit, Cookies, PBJ sandwiches, Pretzels, Potato Chips, Granola Bars, and Candy. *THIS EVENT IS CUPLESS - you will need to have and use a bottle, cup, or hydration system to refill at aid stations.
RESPECT. Please respect the landowners and stewards of these trails so the race may continue! Enjoy these spectacular trails and remember how fortunate we are to be here! Thank you all for your enthusiasm for our race and the support it gives to our trail networks!
POST-RACE. Border Grill (local, fresh Mexican restaurant) will be providing post-race food for runners again this year! Join us starting at 11:00am (to 8pm) for Chicken, Pork, and both GF and Vegan Burritos/Burrito bowls, and drinks: water and Hammer HEED. Alcohol is BYOB. Live music will continue Saturday from 1:00PM – 4:00PM. Come out and watch the finishers and enjoy the afternoon!
*FINISHER AWARDS. We do not have an awards ceremony, but age group awards (local, hand-made, tumblers from Blue Lake Pottery) will be available from a table near the finish line – please get your finish time printout from Superior Timing and see us at the awards table if you are top three in your age group (see website for age group details). Top 3 Male & Female finishers in each event will also receive a pair of Darn Tough socks! Overall top Male & Female finishers in each event will also receive a hydration system from Orange Mud!
*LOST & FOUND. We will be creating a Lost & Found box along with a box for Bibs for those that dropped from the race. These will be left outside at the Forestville Trailhead barn for you to collect until 9AM Sunday morning at which time we will move them to Queen City Running Company for the duration of the week. After the week, items will be discarded or donated.
*TIMING & LIVE TRACKING. Live tracking is available thru Superior Timing as well as final race results. Race results will also be posted to Ultra Signup, typically within the week following the event.
*RACE PHOTOS & VIDEO. Watch for links to amazing race photos and video from Floline Media posted to our Facebook and website the week following the event!
Please consider bringing your family to packet pickup and join in the 1 Mile Kids Run or Catch the Cat 5K (all ages) on Friday night at 7:00PM – same day registration available at Forestville Trailhead. Proceeds go to NMU Women’s Cross-Country. We will have live music Friday night from 5:30PM – 8:30PM courtesy of Sparrowtree.
We are 100% volunteer organization, from the Race Director to the person holding the road crossing sign, and we are lucky to have such a dedicated group of volunteers. Please be respectful and remember to thank the volunteers you encounter race weekend.
