Description
To conclude our first summer being Houghton and Keweenaw County's specialty running store, we wanted to do something fun for our local running enthusiast. We're proud to announce that we will be hosting our first trail race as a part of our Copper Country Trail Series! We will be hosting three races in three different locations of varying distances and difficulties!
Sign-up for one race, two races or all three...it's totally up to you! We will be keeping a score for those who participate in all three races and whoever has the highest point total will be the winner of our CCRC grand prize! Grand prizes will be awarded to the top five male and female racers. There will also be prizes for the individual winners of each race.
