Noquemanon Ski Marathon

The Carson Wealth Noquemanon Ski Marathon presented by Honor Credit Union is set to take place on January 24th, 2026. The Noquemanon has been held on the fourth Saturday of January for 27 years in the beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan in Marquette County. Races include the 50K that takes off from Ishpeming, the 25K that starts in Negaunee and the 12K that begins in Marquette. All races plan to end at the Northern Michigan University Superior Dome.

The weekend also offers the Rudman Jacobson Junior Noque for the kids and an Adaptive race that takes place at Al Quaal in Ishpeming on Friday, January 23rd. Everyone that races whether it be a pro, weekend warrior or all members of a family will feel like they have achieved something difficult while having fun in the snow at the same time. “With over six hundred volunteers contributing to the success of this race, it is hard to express just how powerfully our community comes together to make the Noquemanon happen. Each year, we have the privilege of showcasing our home in the most positive and inspiring way. – Jason Rolling, Noquemanon Race Director
