Ham Run set for May 3




It’s been a winter to remember on the Gunflint Trail this year – we’ve received more snow than anyone can ever remember.

But whether there is snow in the ditches or a patch of ice on the road, the Ham Run will happen on Saturday, May 3.

The first thing you may have noticed about this year’s Ham Run half-marathon is it is on a Saturday rather than a Sunday because a majority of past participants preferred a Saturday race over a Sunday race. Organizers listened and made the change.

Not in good enough shape to run the half-marathon this year? Then run, jog or walk the 5k. The Gunflint Trail is always a great place to visit and combine that with getting some exercise in the great outdoors and you can’t go wrong with participating in the Ham Run.

Also this year, the majority of the proceeds will go to the new Cook County YMCA, rather than to various local nonprofits.
