Description

Founded in 1982, the Minnesota Voyageur 50 Mile Trail Ultramarathon is one of the oldest trail ultras in the nation. The race follows a rugged, varied, out-and-back course that takes runners on a journey from Carlton, MN through Jay Cooke State Park and heads northeast over difficult, rough woodland trails to Duluth, MN and back. Enjoy scenic overlooks of Duluth, Lake Superior, and the iconic Swinging Bridge over the St. Louis River.

(Note: Course was 48 miles long for first 4 years, 1982-1985. 50 miles ever since.)
