Bridges & Bluffs is Going Virtual in 2020! You can complete the race, in social-distanced fashion, on the Iron Belle Trail or anywhere you’d like during the month of September. We’d love for you to tag us on Facebook and share photos, Strava, and your stories from your race. More information will be coming soon! FROM IRONWOOD TO BESSEMER AND BACK! The 2020 Bridges and Bluffs 1/2 marathon is a virtual event that can be run anywhere but you are welcome to run the official route while social distancing which starts at the Historic Depot Park in downtown Ironwood, Michigan and runs along the Iron Belle Trail to Bessemer, Michigan and back along the trail finishing again at Ironwood’s Depot Park. Enjoy the beautiful trail connecting the local community during the peak of Fall color while taking in the amazing sights of bluffs, rivers, and railroad bridges.

COPPER PEAK TRAILS FEST HAS GONE VIRTUAL!!! The course navigates down to the Black River then climbs 500+ vertical feet to the historic Copper Peak ski flying jump. The downhill is fast and flowy with intermittent jumps and bridges. Racers have the option of a 2 LAP MOUNTAIN BIKE RACE (8 miles) or a 1 LAP TRAIL RUN (4 miles) on the Copper Peak Trails. We hope you can support the trails and join us for this fun event!

CANCELLED DUE TO COVID

For the past two years, the Red Bull 400 has invigorated Copper Peak, the iconic Ski Flying hill and Recreation Center in Ironwood, Michigan.

In light of the current guidance from national, state, and local government authorities on local event cancellations, Red Bull is postponing Red Bull 400 Copper Peak, originally scheduled for May 16, to September 26, 2020. For those who have already registered for the event, your registration will automatically give rights to participate in the event in September. If you cannot make the rescheduled date or no longer want to participate in Red Bull 400 Copper Peak, please email redbull400cp@redbull.com. The principle is simple: participants start at the bottom of the ski jump and race 400 meters uphill 40 stories to the top of the largest artificial ski jump tower in the world. The nearly vertical race challenges participants’ speed and endurance, and is guaranteed to put the participants’ calves, quads and fitness, to the ultimate test.
