Iron Range Roll

Iron Range Roll A point-to-point 12 mile downhill race from Ishpeming to Marquette Township on the Iron Ore Heritage Trail. June 6, 2026. www.IronRangeRoll.com

The Iron Range Roll is a 16 mile downhill point-to-point family friendly yet competitive race from Ishpeming to Marquette on the beautiful Iron Ore Heritage Trail (IOHT). This event celebrates the heritage and recreational culture of Marquette County while giving back to our community's youth through the YMCA of Marquette County's Youth Programs. Along the Iron Ore Heritage Trail from the historic

Cliffs Shaft Museum in Ishpeming to the iconic Ore Dock in Marquette, recreational enthusiasts of all ages and abilities will participate in a downhill excursion on their mountain or road bike. Connect Marquette is honored to partner with our sponsors, the Iron Ore Heritage Trail, Cities of Ishpeming, Negaunee and Marquette, Townships of Negaunee and Marquette, Michigan DNR, and the YMCA of Marquette County in the establishment of this annual recreation event that celebrates the connection of our communities along the IOHT. The Roll is an all-inclusive event that promotes fun recreation, healthy living, community connecting trails, and giving back. Racers will experience an adventure starting in Ishpeming-to-Marquette for a truly unique experience unlike anything else available in the region. "The Roll" gets its name from the 872 foot elevation descent and total 1,372 foot elevation loss along the trail route. At the conclusion of "The Roll," an awards ceremony and celebration is held at the YMCA in Marquette. Interested in volunteering or joining Connect Marquette in planning the Iron Range Roll?

Today we would like to recognize our Iron Range Roll sponsor Ore Dock Brewing Co., "where craft beer and community meet"! These words have helped drive the mission at Ore Dock since the beginning, where their goal has continuously been two-fold: to craft great beer and help craft a great community. Historically, breweries have always played a central role within their communities, and they strive to reclaim that idea here in Marquette.
Keep an eye on their page and website for upcoming community events and new beer releases!
