Come experience historic Sault Sainte Marie by running, or walking, a 5k or 10k spanning all 7 bridges that connect the downtown island area. Then, enjoy some brews at Bird's Eye Outfitters at the official ISLAND THEMED post-race party including live entertainment. A brewery will be in town as our brew sponsor to add to your enjoyment with a selection of 7 brews! Proceeds benefit OUT House Consortium, a non-profit organization, to develop, maintain and promote the non-motorized trail systems in the Sault Sainte Marie area. A donation button is available for anyone who is or is not partaking in the run or walk but still want to support the improvement of our recreation trails.
