Marquette, MI -The 2018 Ore to Shore bike race is coming up, and there are various different races for riders of all skill levels. The classifications are listed below, along with a brief description of each.
Hard Rock Race: The course traverses some of the most scenic terrain available in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The 48 mile race starts in downtown Negaunee, which is the “birthplace” of iron ore in Michigan.
Soft Rock: Like its HARD ROCK counterpart, the 28 mile SOFT ROCK covers some very scenic terrain. Starting at the shores of Negaunee’s tranquil Teal Lake, you will immediately begin your journey to Marquette.
Shore Rock: The Shore Rock offers an entry-level distance for the rider looking to try mountain bike racing, or for kids wanting to expand beyond the Junior Rock.
Junior Rock: The Junior Rock race is a 4 mile loop on a dirt trail starting at Lakeview Arena for those ages 16 and under. The racers finish using the same finish chute as the Hard and Soft Rock racers.
Little Rock: Younger kids will also have the opportunity to experience the thrill of a race as they ride near the shores of the “Great Gitchee Gumee” and make their way around the partially paved course.
Littlest Rock: Your young one can’t quite reach the pedals? Bring your toddler’s tricycle, Big Wheel, or push car, and do what’s necessary to get them to the finish by pushing, pulling, or letting them “pedal”.
