Sault International Festival of Races

The Sault International Festival of Races, held in Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan, is a two-day running event scheduled for September 27-28, 2025. It features a variety of races including a unique 5 Mile Bridge Run crossing the International Bridge with scenic views of the Soo Locks, St. Mary's Rapids, and passing freighters.
