Marquette Mountain and 1UP are teaming up to provide a neutral aid station for participants. The MG100 will pass directly by the aid station, MG50 participants will need to veer off course a few hundred yards to take advantage of the station.
Spectators and Support Crews:
Please follow our map (below) for parking, supporting, and spectating. Our bike park, Mountain Shop (get your cowbell in the Mountain Shop) and Tbar will be open and operating for all guests. Lift rides are available for anyone who wants to ride up and hike down. Tickets can be purchased online or in person in the Mountain Shop.
Saturday 21, 11:00am – 6:00pm,Non-Neutral Aid/Quitters Party
We are also holding a quitters party on 9/21! We’ll have outdoor concessions and bar, live music with Ramble Tamble, and vendors to support the support crews and spectators and entice you to end your day here!
Join us at Marquette Mountain for a celebration dedicated to those who know when to say “enough is enough” and still have a blast:
Live Music with Ramble Tamble from 12-3pm
Comfort food because you deserve it!
Ice-cold drinks to toast to your effort (and your excellent decision-making)
Whether you dropped out after mile 5 or mile 49, we’re raising a glass to you. After all, quitting is just another way to say, “I’m ready to party!”
Come hang out with fellow quitters, swap stories, show off bumps and bruises, and celebrate the day in style. Remember, it’s not about finishing—it’s about having fun!
Whether you’re an official quitter or just here for a good time, everyone’s welcome!
