    • Run the Trail Less Traveled

    April 2nd, 2010 | News | 0 Comments

    In less than a month outdoor athletes will flock to the Gunflint Trail to participate in the 3rd Annual Ham Run Half Marathon and 5k Fun Run. The race takes place on the last 13 miles of the Gunflint Trail and provides participants the unique opportunity to enjoy the Trail one step at a time.
    As “The Greenest of them All” this race takes place while the Gunflint Trail is greening up for the summer. Event organizers do everything they can to make sure the event is as Green as possible. Race T-shirts are made from recycled material, tree seedlings are handed out instead of awards and the registration process is paper free. These are just a few of the green initiatives at the Ham Run.
    There’s still plenty of time to register for this event that takes place on Sunday, May 2nd. Sign up today and we’ll see you on the Trail Less Traveled.
