Organiser's Description

Test your speed against Marquette County's Finest (and beyond)! This 5K will start on the bike path at the corner of East Baraga and South Lakeshore Drive in Marquette and head towards Harvey on the bike path, with the turn around just after the Carp River.

Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) Team is a community of peers working to assist First Responders with Critical Stress Management in Michigan's Upper Peninsula following response to traumatic or impactful events and daily calls. We proudly serve and support First Responders in Marquette and Alger county, with support to Delta and Luce County.
