2026 Wild Duluth Races

The Wild Duluth Races, held in Duluth, Minnesota, are a series of trail running events that include a half marathon, 10K, and ultramarathons (50K and 100K). The half marathon course traverses the Superior Hiking Trail, offering stunning views of Lake Superior through dense forest. With a recent field of about 260 finishers and runners from around 12 states, the event has a welcoming but competitive atmosphere. The course is rugged and hilly, challenging even experienced trail runners, with a typical winning time around 1:48.

Roughly 17% of runners return in later years, indicating a loyal following. The event has been held since 2010, now in its 11th edition, and features a special challenge for those who complete multiple races over the weekend. The post-race festivities and sense of community make it a destination-worthy event for trail enthusiasts seeking a tough yet scenic half marathon.
