Fisherman's Picnic Trail Run

The Fisherman's Picnic Trail Run takes place near Grand Marais, Minnesota, on the scenic Pincushion Mountain Trails, located two miles north off the Gunflint Trail. The event features multiple distances including a 5-mile run/walk, a 5K run/walk, and kids' races of 1/4 mile and 1 mile. The trails are wide, grassy, and used for cross-country skiing in winter, offering rolling hills and steep climbs without tight turns or switchbacks, making for a challenging yet rewarding course.

An aid station is available halfway through the 5-mile race. The event fosters a family-friendly atmosphere with opportunities for parents to run with their children. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
