Run for your life & help us restore the roar with a quick family friendly fun-run before the annual spring awakening, Festival of the Angry Bear! Join Ore Dock Brewing Company in conjunction with Queen City Running Company for our fourth annual Angry Bear 5K fundraiser for Special Olympics Area 36. WATCH FOR BEARS! Costumes are not required, but HIGHLY ENCOURAGED!

New this year:

• All registrants will receive a festival wristband (value of $10)

• Baby Bear's may exchange their wristband for a Baby Bear cup, since no cubs under the age of 21 are allowed on festival grounds

• There will be no awards ceremony- this is a fun-run fundraiser and is not timed

• 5 winners with the best costumes will be chosen by race staff, so don't skimp on the fur!

• Prizes will be a combined ODB x QCRC goodie bag

• Best dressed winners will pick up their prizes at the finish line (weather permitting) or inside at Queen City Running Company

Donations & a portion of proceeds from the race will go to Special Olympics of Michigan Area 36 (somi.org)

• 5pm-7pm Thursday, 4/9 @ Ore Dock

• 4pm-8pm Friday, 4/10 @ Ore Dock

All bibs must be picked up by 12:30pm the day of the run, runners meet on the bike path at Spring Street and Lake Shore at 12:45pm. This is an out-and-back race, so the race will start and finish on the bike path at the intersection of Spring Street and Lake Shore (just south of the Bell Tower), then it will follow the bike path along Marquette's shoreline to picnic rocks and back.*

Are you ready to run for your life?! Sign up and let's roar!

The Dead Carp has changed the long run from a 20K to a 10 Mile to celebrate Queen City Running Company's 10 years of being in business. We want to celebrate the longevity that only comes with a community such as ours that believes in us, so come run with us!

The Dead Carp 10 Mile Run and 5K Run/Walk offers a beautiful course with springtime temperatures ideal for running, and combines small-race feel with big-race perks. The course is an out and back and back and will pass over both the Dead and Carp Rivers, giving you the full scenic experience of Marquette's lakeshore. Start your day with one of the flattest, fastest courses around.

For those with longer distance ambitions, this “almost” half marathon is a great way to peak your spring training, or to prepare for a summer marathon. Use it as a race, training run, fun run, whatever you desire! For those interested in a shorter distance to tackle, there is also a 5K run/walk option.

Coming back will be the Little Carp 1 Mile Race! This race will be available to kids 12 and under.
