Welcome to the official Marquette General Health System Ore To Shore Mountain Bike Epic Website! Michigan's Largest Mass Start Point-to-Point Race!

Thank you to all the great people that helped make this race EPIC! Our volunteers were exceptional, our landowners and sponsors happy to be part of such a great event.

The Marquette General Ore to Shore Mountain Bike Epic, August 8, 2009, was race number six of the Golden Race Series. At each of seven Golden Bike Series cross country mountain bike races, GT will crown the fastest amateur as the Golden Bike Winner. But there’s a catch: the winner must defend their title by racing the GT Golden Bike at the next event in the series – or they forfeit the prize package worth more than $10,000 to the 2nd place finisher.

Mark your calendars for the 11th annual Ore to Shore Mountain Bike Epic scheduled for August 14th 2010!

Andy Gregg and the crew from MQTphoto were on the race course again in 2009, where they were taking action photos of all racers! These photos are online now at www.marquettephoto.com

The Ore to Shore race course is made up of a combination of public and private land. We have a one day permit to go through the landowner's property for the race. It has come to our attention that a GPS version of the course may be found on the internet. There are sections of the course than can be ridden year round - the easiest to find is from County Road 510 into Marquette. Please do not ride the private landowner property other than on race day . Doing so could put the race in jeopardy as the landowners may not let us use their property anymore.
