SUMMARY:48th Annual Big Bay Relay
DESCRIPTION:Be a Part of U.P. History  \nWhat makes The Big Bay Relay different from any other relay? It is the Upper Peninsula’s most esteemed and historic race relay event. Join the Noquemanon Trail Network in celebrating the 48th annual Big Bay Relay kicking off at the Kaufman Sports Complex Saturday\, May 16th 2026!  \nThe relay welcomes runners of all levels and we cannot wait to see what creative team names our runners come up with for the 2026 race! Teams are composed of five runners for adults and up to seven for youth teams. The relay spans the twenty-six mile stretch of Marquette’s historic 550 Big Bay Road and the finish line is in Draver Park in Big Bay.   \nIn spring of 1972\, Marquette held its first Big Bay Relay coordinated by Race Director Karen Kunkle and her husband Jack. The first race brought only ten relay teams and has grown to include over fifty teams in the past several years.  \nIf you are an elite runner who wants to compete\, or a group of friends that want to try something adventurous\, this picturesque relay is for you. For 48 years the Big Bay Relay has been uniting community members\, families and friends\, and we want you to be a part of this year’s race! It’s all about having fun\, being with friends and family while celebrating where we live and recreate.  \nFor further details or to register for the 2026 race\, visit us at\, https://runsignup.com/Race/MI/Marquette/BigBayRelay today.  \nRegistration fees are $195 per team until May 8th and $215 May 9th until May 13th.  \nRegistration divisions include five person all-female\, all-male\, or mixed teams and seven person junior division teams. Included is a “Team Spirit” award for the team that goes above and beyond. This year all proceeds benefit the Big BayPathway/Trails. If you are interested in volunteering or have any questions please contact Marcia Gonstead at (906)345-0149\, or by e-mail at bigbayrelay@gmail.com. \n  \nMarcia Gonstead   \n8267 County Road Marquette\, MI  49855  \nPhone: 906.345.0149

SUMMARY:Soo Locks to host Engineers Day 2026
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers\, Detroit District in conjunction with the City of Sault Ste. Marie\, the Sault Ste. Marie Convention & Visitors Bureau\, the Lake Superior State University Center for Freshwater Research and Education\, Hospice of the Eastern Upper Peninsula\, and Superior Health Systems are hosting open house events for the 2026 Soo Locks Engineers Day on June 26.   \n  \n“Visitors will not be able to cross the locks this year due to increased construction activity and evolving security protocols\,” said LeighAnn Ryckeghem\, Soo Project Office Operations Manager. “There will be a variety of unique exhibits in the park for visitors to learn about the Soo Locks as well as several stakeholder and partner missions.”  \n  \nThis year\, visitors are welcome into Soo Locks Canal Park from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.\, Friday\, June 26 for Engineers Day activities and new Corps of Engineers vessel dedications. Following the Engineers Day events\, the viewing platform will remain open until 10 p.m.\, and the Soo Locks Visitor Center will be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.    \n  \n“The first Soo Locks Engineers Day took place on June 16\, 1975\,” said Soo Locks Archivist Natalie Humphrey. “Then mayor of Sault Ste. Marie\, Michigan\, Frank Pingatore\, declared the day as Army Corps of Engineers Day and urged all good people of the community to give recognition to the people who comprise the Corps of Engineers. Since 1975\, the Soo Locks have hosted Engineers Day\, except for 2020\, welcoming all visitors to share in the Soo Locks history and mission.” \n  \nWe are continuing the requirement for all bags coming into the Soo Locks Park to be clear. Clear bags will allow park security to quickly inspect bags and assist with making this a fun and safe event for everyone. \n  \nFor our visitors bringing bags\, the Engineers Day policy for the Soo Locks follows: \n  \n\nClear bags cannot be larger than 12 inches long\, 6 inches deep and 12 inches wide.\nDiaper bags are not allowed.\nMedical bags are exempt.\nWallets must not have a strap and cannot exceed 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches.\n\n  \nAll people entering the Soo Locks are subject to a security search. Firearms\, weapons – including knives of any size\, drugs\, pets (except service animals)\, skateboards and bicycles are not permitted. \n  \nWe will be continuing one-way entry into the park through the main gate for security screening. \n    \nThe Sault Ste. Marie Convention and Visitors Bureau are closing a portion of Portage Avenue to focus on downtown city merchants and vendors. Downtown Portage Avenue will close to vehicle traffic and open for pedestrians and vendors between Ferris Street and Osborn Boulevard from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.\, June 26.   \n“The Soo Locks have long been a cornerstone of our community’s history\,” said Linda Hoath\, executive director of the Sault Area Convention & Visitors Bureau. “Engineers Day gives us the opportunity to honor both their legacy and the innovation behind them. In recent years\, we’ve worked to expand Engineers Day into a celebration that engages the entire downtown. We’re excited to welcome both residents and visitors to join us downtown for this special event.”   \nAlong with welcoming visitors to the Soo Locks Park\, several other events will take place:  \n  \n\nHospice of the Eastern Upper Peninsula and Superior Health Systems Arts\, Crafts and Family Fun Fair at the City Hall grounds from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.  \nLake Superior State University Center for Freshwater Research and Education will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.  \n\n   \nTo register as a vendor (no-cost) on Portage Avenue\, please contact the Sault Area Convention and Visitors Bureau at 906-632-3366 or admin@saultstemarie.com.   \n
