Ore To Shore Mountain Bike Epic

401 East Fair Ave, Marquette, MI 49855

 

Dates: August 8, 2026 – August 9, 2026

 

The Ore to Shore (O2S) is the third largest point-to-point race in the Midwest, with riders gearing up at the start line in Negaunee, where in 1844 iron ore was first discovered in the Superior region. The long distance course travels through Ishpeming, past towering head frames from the heyday of underground mining, and then heads north into the beautiful wooded wilderness, crossing or running along side of the Dead River all the way into Marquette to the Lake Superior shoreline.

 

O2S offers various options so all skill levels can get involved! Race options includes, the 48 mile Hard Rock, the 28 mile Soft Rock, 10 mile Shore Rock, 4 mile Junior Rock, and 1 mile Little Rock.

 

The registration window opens January 2025, and all participants must be registered in advance, as there will not be registration the morning of the race.
