MARQUETTE, Mich. (WZMQ) – Hundreds of cyclists hit the Iron Ore Heritage trail this afternoon for a Marquette County tradition.
The 13th annual Iron Range Roll brought riders of all ages and experience levels together for a 12-mile timed ride from Ishpeming to Marquette.
Connect Marquette uses funds raised through the event to donate to local youth programs including the YMCA of Marquette County and the Aspen Ridge Riding for Focus Program.
Iron Range Roll Volunteer and Connect Marquette marketing coordinator Lauren Bareiss says the event is more than just a race: “We bring this race together to help create a opportunity for everyone of varying ages and experience levels, so that they can come together and enjoy a day out in Marquette County,” says Bareiss. “Through this race, we’re able to give back to the community with the funds we raise.”
The Iron Range Roll returns next year – and if you’re looking to get involved, more information can be found at ironrangeroll.com
