With more than 200 runners entered, this Saturday’s Voyage North 5K and 10K races should be an exciting event to take part in or watch.
Runners will leave the Coast Guard Station parking lot at 11 a.m.
If you want to watch the runners, pick a spot on the course and cheer.
10K route
Just prior to 11 a.m. the roadway to get out to Artist Point will be blocked to keep participants safe. The 10K route will follow Wisconsin Street to the Highway 61 crossing at Java Moose and Voyageur Brewing Company where law enforcement officers will be present to assist with the crossing.
Runners will continue on 3rd Avenue up to the Art Colony and turn right onto 2nd Street for two blocks until they reach the corner of 1st Avenue and turn uphill at Betsy Bowen’s Studio. From there they run to County Road 7 and turn left to travel past the YMCA, tennis courts and head towards the Clinic.
5K route
Runners taking part in the 5K will turn left onto 8th Avenue while 10K participants continue until they reach the Fall River Road. The 10K participants travel downhill to Highway 61, turn left towards Grand Marais and run back to Voyageur Brewing Company. 5K participants travel down 8th Avenue until they take a right turn on 2nd Street. They travel on West 2nd Street until it dead-ends at a grass/ gravel path that leads them downhill to Highway 61 in the Wunderbar parking lot. They will then head down Highway 61 and back to Voyageur Brewing Company.
