Course Description and Maps

The Superior Sawtooth 100 Mile Trail Run is a point-to-point, 100% trail run, starting at the Gooseberry Falls State Park Visitors' Center, and finishing near Caribou Highlands Lodge in Lutsen. Runners will have access to fourteen aid stations between the start and finish, and will never go more than 10 miles without an opportunity for aid. More than 99% of the course is on the Superior Hiking Trail.

The Superior Hiking Trail Association (SHTA) publishes a wonderful series of trail maps, complete with descriptions, that cover in detail the sections of trail on which the Marathon will be run. The SHTA also publishes a comprehensive, almost 200-page, Guide to the Superior Hiking Trail. View the maps for this part of the course through the following links:
