From the organizers
Step off the roads this summer and become one with nature in the inaugural QCRC Trail Series! Unlike traditional trail races in the UP, this series spans three locations, with one race at each location occurring during the same day each month from May through September. That means five races in five months leading to the big finale in October.
Each month’s races will feature similar distances and difficulty across all locations, ensuring fair and consistent competition while still offering variety in terrain and challenge from month to month. Scoring will be based on a proportional system using each race’s winning time, allowing athletes to compete meaningfully across different courses.
