Description

The Dead Carp 20K Run and 5K Run/Walk offers a beautiful course with springtime temperatures ideal for running, and combines small-race feel with big-race perks. The course is an out and back and back and will pass over both the Dead and Carp Rivers, giving you the full scenic experience of Marquette's lakeshore. 

 

For those with longer distance ambitions, this “almost” half marathon is a great way to peak your spring training, or to prepare for a summer marathon. Use it as a race, training run, fun run, whatever you desire! For those interested in a shorter distance to tackle, there is also a 5K run/walk option. 

 

Coming back will be the Little Carp 1 Mile Race! This race will be available to kids 12 and under.
