13TH EDITION OF THE MARQUETTE TRAIL 50 ULTRAMARATHON

Marquette Trail 50 is excited to announce our dates for the 13th Edition of the Marquette Trail 50 Ultramarathon - 50 Mile and 50K Events along with 5K & Kids 1 Mile Events scheduled for August 20 - 21, 2021!
Due to unfortunate circumstances of 2020, we do have a large number of deferrals from 2020 that will limit our entries for 2021.  Registration will open in UltraSignup at 8:00 AM ET on Black Friday (November 27, 2020) for the 2021 events with slots limited to 20 entries in the 50M and 50 entries for the 50K.  We encourage all those interested to use the Waitlist option as we may be able to open additional slots in April 2021.

If you chose the deferral option for 2020, you will receive a coupon via UltraSignup on December 1, 2020 (previously November 1, 2020, but we had to make a change due to the process in UltraSignup) that will allow you to register for your 2021 event at no cost to you.  We ask that you please exercise this option as soon as possible, but no later than March 1, 2021, so we can assess the opening of additional slots from our Waitlist. 

THANK YOU!
Another huge THANK YOU to all our generous participants who donated their entry fees from 2020!  Our crew was able to make donations with these funds to NTN, North Country Trail, Friends of Harlow, and NMU Women's Track & Cross Country this month!  Very unexpected for these organizations and appreciated more than you know!  Thank you for your support as these organizations are not only critical for our event, but for the stewardship of trail systems here in Marquette County!

2020 RACE & COVID-19 IMPLICATIONS

On behalf of the Marquette Trail 50 crew, it’s with great sadness that we will not be hosting the Marquette Trail 50 Ultramarathon in its traditional format come August 2020.  The 2020 Marquette Trail 50 has weighed heavy on my mind for the past few months and we wanted to be able to allow both our participants and vendors enough notice along with time to plan for an alternative format.  We do not take this decision lightly and it has been a process of reviewing guidance from the CDC; reviewing our Michigan Safe Start Plan; consultations with our medical director, local doctors, first responders, and local health officials; and countless heartfelt discussions within our team concerning the health and safety of the high risk populations of our small community, volunteers, and participants.  The MT50 is fortunate to have immense support of runners from all over the Midwest and further reaching regions of the country and even outside the U.S.; however, what this means is that we would be bringing a majority of the 500 runners, plus their families, to Marquette from outside the area in the midst of a pandemic.
Our hearts continue go out to all that are suffering during these challenging times and we are wishing you and your families good health.  Please responsibly get out there on the trails this summer, support your local trail systems, and plan a local adventure with some friends – several of us on the MT50 crew have certainly been enjoying some epic local adventures! Thank you for your understanding and continued support of the MT50 and I hope to see each one of you crossing the finish line in the years ahead. 
All registered runners will be receiving an email from me via UltraSignup with specific details of your options.  
-Laura Neumeier, Race Director
