North Country Trail Marathon

Name: North Country Trail Marathon
Start: 2024-08-24
Location: Manistee National Forest, MI

Manistee National Forest, MI
Saturday, August 24, 2024

Description

The North Country Trail Marathon course is a well marked 25 mile loop. There is an additional 1.2 mile section to complete the marathon distance.

The trail is a single-track hiking trail with enough hills to make for a challenging race. There is no high altitude to contend with, no rocks to jump over, and no stream crossings to wade through, just a beautiful forest with a few roots to remind you you’re not on pavement.
