The Husky Autumn Mountain Run 2024
October 26, 2024

 

The HAMR is a competitive running event consisting of a 5k and 10k course put on by the Arctic Rangers Club, from Michigan Technological University. 

The course scales Mont Ripley, in Hancock Michigan, the beautiful heart of the Copper Country. It then traverses Quincy Mine, giving runners a unique tour of Houghton’s rich mining history. The course is challenging, the competition is fierce, yet the environment remains fun and friendly. 

This experience is truly unforgettable, as you enjoy the panoramic views of the famous UP fall colors, surrounded by friends, family, and competitors. Come out this year and take on the mountain together!

All proceeds will be used to support the members of the Arctic Rangers Club.

Course Location

The HAMR is located on Michigan Tech’s own Mont Ripley. This is a rigorous, uneven course that traverses the steep slopes of the surrounding area’s most beloved mountain. 

The course shown below is for the 5k and 10k races with the 10k runners doing this route twice.
