NORTH END TRAIL RUN IS A GO FOR SUNDAY AUG. 2

The North End Ski Club in Cable is cautiously optimistic about the second running of the North End Trail Run now scheduled for Sunday, August 2 .The North End board of directors, a.k.a. race organizing committee,has been studying and debating a number of options to insure adequate social distancing and runner safety. A number of options are still on the table and further details will be disseminated shortly.

In light of the current circumstances and the economics of putting on events, this will be a no-frills event this year, with minimal perks. The club simply wants to offer a community building event and give people an opportunity to safely enjoy the trails and the trail experience.

The trail run will take place at the North End Trailhead, 41640 Randysek Rd. in Cable, about two miles south of downtown Cable. The North End Trailhead is home to the North End Ski and Snowshoe Trail system and the North End Warming Cabin.

The North End Trail Run will start and finish at the trailhead and will include distances of 5 kilometers, 5 miles and 10 miles. All courses will utilize the Ojibwe singletrack bike trail and segments of the North End Ski Trails. The terrain of the area is constantly rolling and varied with only a few longer sustained hills. The Ojibwe Trail is one of the oldest mountain bike trails in the area and, except for a few more recent additions, has mostly retained its original “old school” rustic character. It is narrow, twisting and has regular technical attributes (rocks and roots). The trail winds deep into the Bayfield County Forest through varied forest types.

The entry fee for all distances is $25 through August 2 at 9:00 am. All registration will be online including on-site, race day registration. Click here to register: www.webscorer.com/register?pid=1&raceid=216206&owner=1.

North End Trail Run has been Rescheduled!

This year the run was scheduled for May 30 but as with many events this year, we needed to make a change. We decided to not cancel the run at this time but rather reschedule it for Sunday, August 2 in the hopes that we may be able to gather together at that later date.

Of course your health and the health of our volunteers and community are very important to us so we will be monitoring the situation, and we may need to cancel the race, but for now it is on.

We hope you will save the date and will consider joining us on August 2, 2020 for the second running of the North End Trail Race. ... See MoreSee Less

The North End ski trails are groomed at least twice a week during the week and usually receive a refresher on the skate lane on the weekend. The North End Classic Trail is groomed once a week. Grooming is, of course, dependent on new snow received, lack of new snow, temperatures, equipment operation and volunteer availability. But on any given day, you may expect the main trails to have been groomed within the past 48-72 hours.
