In 1999 the first UP 200 Sled Dog Championship race kicked off with 10 dog teams from Washington Street in Marquette and into the night with 10,000 fans cheering them on.

The event now holds three separate races:

UP 200 covering 238 miles of terrain from Marquette to Grand Marias, MI and then back again
Midnight Run covering 94 miles from downtown Marquette to Chatham and back
Jack Pine 30 covering 25 miles of snowmobile and woods trails from Gwinn to Sands Station, Michigan

If you’re in Marquette this is a must-see event. Check the event website for accurate event times and locations.
