Race Description
The Canal Run, set to take place on July 19, 2025, marks its 50th anniversary as a premier running event in Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula. This beloved event invites runners and walkers of all levels to enjoy a scenic course along the Portage Lake Shipping Canal, featuring multiple distance options including a half marathon, 10-mile run, and more.
Notably, the Canal Run emphasizes inclusivity with adaptive categories available for wheelchair and blade participants, alongside traditional race options. The event has a strong community focus, having donated over $30,000 to local non-profits since 2011 through its Canal Run Gives Back program.
