These happy runners participated in the Ham Lake half-marathon three years ago. Every year the race has grown and gotten better and better. This year the event will be held May 6. If you want to experience the last 13 miles of the Gunflint Trail on foot, this is the best way to go. And, oh yes, there is food at the finish line.
It’s time to register for the Gunflint Trail’s Ham Run Half-Marathon and 5k Fun Half-Marathon, which is scheduled for May 6, 2012.
Do you still have what it takes to run the Trail less traveled? If you’ve run it before then you know it isn’t an easy race and finishing times pushing 90 minutes demonstrate the amount of stamina it takes to complete it. But it is also one of the mos t beautiful races in North America. Sign up to run today!
New this year the Ham Run Half Marathon will host a “Health, Fitness and Green Living Expo” on Saturday, May 5 from 1 to 7 p.m. at the Cook County Community Center in Grand Marais in conjunction with the Ham Run registration.
Exhibitors are wanted for the event. A tax-deductible donation of $25 is requested for non-race sponsors to reserve their table. Tables are free for race sponsors of over $500. Contact Margo Furcht at 387-3344 or at margofurcht@boreal.org to reserve table space.
Proceeds from the event will be returned to Ham Run race volunteers from nonprofit groups that support fitness and recreation opportunities in Cook County.
