Winter on the Gunflint Trail has been reminiscent of the Energizer Bunny—it keeps going and going and going. With ice still on the lakes and snow on the ground it’s hard to believe the Ham Run half-marathon is right around the corner but it is. Are you ready?
For those who aren’t ready for the half-marathon, there is the chance to run or walk the 5k Fun Run. And for the kids, there is the Little Runts Run. One of the Ham Run Half Marathon organizers, Sue Prom invites the community. “We’d love to see you on the ‘Trail Less Traveled’ on May 5th, snow, rain or shine,” she said.
Prom reminds potential runners that supporting the Ham Run supports many of the nonprofits in Cook County. “The awesome volunteers at the event earn a little something for their nonprofit organization,” she said. In past years, the Ham Run has donated to the Gunflint Trail Volunteer Fire Department, Boundary Waters Amateur Radio Club, Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts and many other organizations. “It’s a great community event and we need your participation to keep it going,” said Prom.
