Marquette has become known for its friendly and accommodating spirit towards trail enthusiasts as much as it is for its scenic forests, varied terrain, and special seasonal events. Each June the city of Marquette hosts an annual event to highlight the fun available locally for all non-motorized trail users with mountain bike races, trail runs, family hikes, and more.

Marquette 2015 Trails Festival events kick off this year Friday, June 26th – 28th, 2015.  By feet or by wheels, come out and enjoy the great outdoors while supporting our community trails.  Proceeds from the events go to building and maintaining the NTN singletrack system.
