Sugar Island 4 Mile Run

Run or walk 4 miles from Hilltop Bar to the Sugar Island Causeway and back up the hill for this unique picturesque event put on by Yooper Running Company.  Hilltop Bar is located 1/4 mile up the hill on Ferry Rd (1 1/2 Mile Rd) or about 2.25 miles from the ferry.  The run/walk will begin at 8:30am on Saturday, August 12, from the Hilltop Bar parking lot.  The Sugar Island Music Fest is also going on this weekend so be prepared for extra ferry traffic.  The ferry schedule from the mainland (Rotary Island) is every 30 minutes on the '15 and '45 and takes approximately 5 minutes to cross.  6:15, 6:45, 7:15, 7:45, etc.  I would advise to take one of the earlier times to make sure you have plenty of time before the 8:30am race to pick up your bib.  Ferry fees are $20 cash per vehicle or $2 per pedestrian if you are biking or walking over.  Early registration through July 31 will be $20 per person.  Late registration will be $25 per person.  Registration is ONLINE ONLY and will close 6pm on Friday, August 11. Bib pickup will begin at 7:15am on race morning.  Awards will be given out shortly after the race for the top 3 male and female finishers as well as the top master's male and female finisher (division 40+).  Medals will be given out to all race finishers.  Results will be timed by Yooper Running Company.  Age groups 5-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70+.  Hilltop Bar will open shortly after the race for food and drink service and will be open early for restroom use or shelter for inclement weather.
