Thanks for joining outdoor enthusiasts, nature lovers and other runners for a unique opportunity to run on a Scenic Byway, Northern Minnesota's very own Gunflint Trail. May 4, 2008 was a great day for a run on the Gunflint Trail. Participants enjoyed the beautiful weather, scenery and wildlife that appeared to greet them along the way. Spectators were out in full force cheering the runners on and the post party was a huge success. We hope you will join us May 3, 2009 for the 2nd Annual Ham Run Half Marathon and 5k Fun Run on the Gunflint Trail.

The Ham Run is the perfect way to celebrate Earth Day and Mother Nature while running in the Superior National Forest. Spring is a time of re-birth and growth and the Gunflint will be greening up, especially along parts of the race course that were affected by the Ham Lake Fire in 2007. With each step you take you will be a part of the natural world along the Gunflint Trail and the surrounding Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. There are very few places on the earth as beautiful as the Gunflint Trail and there is no other race course like it in the world. We invite you to join us on this journey as we partake in the Ham Run Half Marathon.

The Ham Run Half Marathon is proud to be a member of the Green Team and Endurance Magazine's Race without a Trace. Changing the world one step at a time by implementing environmentally friendly practices at our running event.
