Big Bay Relay News

Marquette, MI- May 16, 2009 was the setting for the 33rd Annual Big Bay Relay.  Forty-three teams signed up and participated in the relay.  Teams started the event at 8:00am, and started in a staggered fashion until 9:22am.  The traditional course was traveled along County road 550 from the River Sports Complex in Marquette to Perkins Park in Big Bay.  All teams ran a 26 mile course, exchanging and alternating runners at each designated mile marker. 

 

Teams traveled from as far away as Manistique and Escanaba, MI to compete in this traditional event.  The tightest competition was in the mixed category between Cool Runnings and Jake’s Jesters.  Cool Runnings prevailed with a lead of just 10 seconds.

 

When asked what their favorite aspect of the race was, one participant said, “Whole family fun – yearly reunion.”

 

For the third time, The Noquemanon Trail Network and the Superiorland Ski Club were the hosts for the event and benefited from it.  The event was sponsored by Johnson’s Sport Shop and Jimmy John’s of Marquette.  The organizers would like to thank all participants and especially the National Guard, Marquette County Sheriff’s Department, the City of Marquette, and Perkins Park in Big Bay for their support and use of their facilities.

"Thank you for coordinating such a wonderful event. As I mentioned at the finish line, I ran in this event for over twenty years, starting back in 1980. It was so much fun for our family to run again. I was glad to see how well run it is, the positive interchanges between teams, and the nice (albeit cold) post race gathering.
Again, thanks for your time and energy in running this event and see you next year." - Terry Taylor
