Race Information
Founded in 1982, the Minnesota Voyageur 50 Mile Trail Ultramarathon is one of the oldest trail ultras in the United States.
The out-and-back course travels from Carlton through Jay Cooke State Park toward Duluth and back, combining rugged woodland singletrack, roots, rocks, and roughly 5,000 feet of elevation gain and loss. Along the way, runners encounter scenic views of Lake Superior and cross the iconic Swinging Bridge over the St. Louis River.
The demanding course, long history, and remote woodland setting give the Voyageur a distinctly traditional trail-ultra character.
