The Marquette Trail Running Series was established with one goal in mind – to get more people outside adventuring on foot. MTRS was founded by Andrew Rickauer. In 2025, he stepped aside after 15 years, and turned the series over to 906AT. We plan to finish what he started – creating an opportunity for more people to get outside adventuring on foot. Whether you’re an elite runner, weekend warrior, walker, hiker, MTRS welcomes you, your friends, your kids, and family. Who: Anyone who likes to get outside and do hard things with like-minded people. What: A short course (3 miles or less), long course (6 miles or less). You get two hours to do one lap, or more. When: Tuesdays at 6PM. Where: From the West End to Lake Levassuer and back! Why: You love running, trails, community gatherings, and want to learn new trails. Courses: Will vary depending on location. With the series moving around Marquette County this year and featuring a lot of new routes there’s bound to be something for everyone.

906AT productions are unlike most events you will sign up for. We do not hold your hand. We give you just enough information to point you in the right direction and leave it up to you to get all the details. We share a lot of content through the official Facebook pages, Facebook event groups, and the newsfeeds on our website. Stay connected. If the way we do stuff isn’t your thing, it’s ok. There are a lot of other events out there.
“You are on your own. No one is out there to save you. GPS is required. You must observe and obey the “rules of the road.” We do not sign the course. You should not approach wildlife. In an emergency, dial 911.”
906AT events will expose you to treacherous terrain, inclement weather, fatigue, and hallucinations; the activity is inherently dangerous. At some point, you will likely ride or push your bike through the night, swearing you’ll never do <insert event name here> again. Don’t feel bad; this is normal.
Hype disclaimer: Right now, some people start rolling their eyes because they think some marketing department is trying to scare them. That’s not the case. What we’re telling you isn’t hype. If you don’t respect the inherent danger of an activity, it could kill you. However, with proper preparation and practice, you will learn how to survive and thrive; that’s our goal.
Each event carries a recommended gear list. Find the lists. Make sure you have everything on them. Train with the gear. Learn how to use it. The last place you want to find out you don’t know how to start a fire is on the Peshekee Grade at six o’clock in the morning when it’s 33 degrees. It’s a mistake you might only get to make once.
Some ask, “Why do you make it so hard?” Well, the world is full of people pushing easy things on you and hyping stuff up to be challenging that isn’t. Those folks are just trying to sell you a product. Our mission is to help you find your best version. That’s going to take work – Dedicated, consistent, hard work. We’re not selling you a product; we’re offering you an opportunity.
Yes, the trail will be marked. No. You are self-supported No. Show up. Crush it! No. You can do whatever you want.
M.T.R.S. SUPPORTS ’EM, AND SO SHOULD YOU MTRS is a production of the 906 Adventure Team, a 501(c)3 Non-Profit. The organization is based in Marquette County and serves twelve communities in three states, offering youth Adventure Teams. Its mission is to empower kids through outdoor adventure to become the best versions of themselves. 906AT Productions, like Polar Roll, Crusher, and Marji, give back to local trail-building organizations, including NTN, RAMBA, Munising Bay Trails Network, and Friends of Harlow.
We’ve got some of the best bike shops in the country up here. How else can 5 different shops survive in a region of 33,000 people. When we break stuff (we do that a lot) or just need a beer and a place to hang, we go here. You should too. Make it a point to visit at least one of them every time you’re in our neck of the woods because we could not do any of this without their support. These are the local shops that have pledged to financially support us, give ’em a visit! West End Ski & Trail 101 S. Main St, Down Wind Sports 514 N 3rd St Sports Rack 315 W Washington St

As a 501(c)3 non-profit, the 906 Adventure Team’s sole purpose is to make an impact on our community. Unlike those other events, we’re not owned by a publicly-held corporation, or charging $650 for a day of adventure. We’re trying to change lives, not bank account balances.
Our audience vocally support the brands that support our events. Our sponsors often go out of the way to tell us that our racers make an impact on their business.
