Ready to Push Your Limits?
We’re excited to announce the return of one of the toughest endurance running events in the Midwest — the Rocket Endurance Hill Climb!

How It Works
The Rocket Endurance Hill Climb is a 6-hour race where individuals and teams complete as many laps as possible on a grueling mountain circuit.

Course Overview:
Starts at the base of Marquette Mountain Resort
Climbs up Rocket to the summit of Upper Rocket
Descends through Upper Rocket and crosses Weasel Gulch
Loops back to the base to begin again
Each circuit is about 1.5 miles long, with over 500 feet of vertical gain, a 60% grade on parts of the uphill, and a rugged 5,000-foot descent. It’s steep. It’s wild. It’s not for the faint of heart.
