5pm-7pm Thursday, 4/11

All bibs must be picked up by 12:30pm the day of the run, runners meet by the Fireman's Bell Tower at 12:45pm. This is an out-and-back race, so the race will start and finish on the bike path at the intersection of Main Street and Lake Shore (just south of the Bell Tower), then it will follow the bike path along Marquette's shoreline to picnic rocks and back. After, head back to the brewery to quench your well earned thirst during awards.*
*While this is a family friendly run, we ask that all minors are off of "festival grounds" at 3pm when awards wrap and we open the gates to let all the beer drinking bears in.
