Wild Duluth Trail Races (SAT)

Description:

Out-and-back course on rugged and beautiful Superior Hiking Trail through Duluth, MN. We started this race because we wanted to share this amazing trail (the Superior Hiking Trail) and amazing City with our running friends. 99% of the Wild Duluth 100K and 50K course follows the Superior Hiking Trail through the city of Duluth. The course follows the high points and ridges above the northern Minnesota city of Duluth with the 100K offering almost 10,000 feet of elevation gain and the 50K, 5,000 feet. Along the course you will find amazing views over the St. Louis River, harbor and city below, rocky outcroppings, numerous streams, huge White Pines and hidden places you never thought you’d find in a city of over 80,000 people. With excellent access, the course will offer plentiful aid stations and excellent support. The trail is EXTREMELY rugged, hilly and laced with rocks and roots throughout. Many veteran ultrarunners believe this is the toughest 50K and 100K course in the Midwest. We do too! This course will surely challenge the veteran trail and ultrarunner and will provide inspiration to those new to the sport. Come see it for yourself!
