Wild Duluth 50K starts at Oldenburg Point in Jay Cooke State Park and follows the Superior Hiking Trail through Duluth to the finish at Bayfront Park. A bus takes 50K runners from Bayfront Park to the start at 7:00 a.m.
The trail is extremely rugged, hilly and laced with rocks and roots throughout. Many veteran ultrarunners consider this the toughest 50K and 100K course in the Midwest. The trail will be covered in leaves in mid-October, so watch your footing.
Rugged 50K and 100K ultramarathons on Saturday, with the Harder 'n Heck Half Marathon and the Terribly Tough 10K on Sunday. The 50K and 100K follow the Superior Hiking Trail through the city of Duluth, high above the St. Louis River, the harbor and Lake Superior, and finish at Bayfront Park.
The 50K and 100K were established in 2009. The Half Marathon followed in 2010 and the 10K was added in 2019.

These are other people's work and we link straight to them. Watching costs nothing and needs no account. More of them: every race we hold, on film.
Nobody sees it until we have read it. No account, no sign-in.
This changes nothing on the page on its own. Somebody checks it against the race first.
Nobody sees it until we have read it. No account, no sign-in.
Somebody watches it before it goes anywhere near this page. What we are after is footage of this course, on the ground. If it would be just as true of any other race, it is not this.
We want the address of the file the race publishes, not the file. We download it from there so the page can say where the line came from.
We read every one of these and we write back. Every fact here carries the source it came from, and the way a wrong one gets fixed is a person checking it against what you tell us.
Cutoffs move, races get postponed, lotteries open and close. We read the race's own sources and record where every fact came from. Put your email in and we will send you what changed, and where we read it.
No account, and nothing to cancel.
What happens to your email. Nothing else. I do not sell it, and I will not send you anything except this race changing. One click gets you out.
I keep this catalog because the information is scattered and hard to trust. Telling you when it moves is the same job.
