Updates from the Noquemanon Race Committee

There may not be any snow on the ground yet (that stayed) but that doesn't mean the race committee has been idle or that excitement is low - it's quite the opposite! Despite the warm and dry start to November registrations are running ahead of the last few years - two waves are already full and preparations are in full swing. Sponsors are being secured, bibs/hats/merch are being designed and finalized, trail issues are being identified and resolved, and a myriad of other planning details are underway. We will continue to keep you updated on important race topics and any noteworthy details - one of which is - stay tuned for a new mobile map of the race course!

Until then, keep training and do your snow dances!

Did You Know?

The precursor to the Noquemanon Ski Marathon was a race called the Red Earth Loppet a point-to-point race that originally spanned from National Mine, North of Ishpeming to South Marquette. The first race was held in 1984 and ceased in 1997 due to landowner issues and the resultant course changes that were less than ideal. Jon Mommaerts and a group of Superiorland Ski Club colleagues decided that the area needed a replacement and work began on planning for the first Noquemanon Ski Marathon held - the first of which was held in 1999. Many things have changed over the years, but, some things remain very similar such as our reliance on private landowners that have been graciously willing to partner with this event and provide access once a year, and share the beauty of skiing through the rugged terrain of Marquette County.
