A marathon like no other...located on the beautiful wilderness roads around Ely, Minnesota. Join us for a nice run alongside the lakes, on the dirt roads, with the wildlife and amongst the beautiful fall colors. The cooler fall temps can make for perfect running weather and there's a lot of things to do and explore in the Ely area. Source
