Pincushion Ski Festival

Pincushion Mountain Trails

Come to Grand Marais to participate in the only Ski Race in Cook County, MN and one of the oldest! The North Superior Ski and Run Club has been building and maintaining the beloved Pincushion Mountain Trail System for over 40 year and this racing event serves as both a huge annual celebration of their commitment to community running and skiing, but also as their main fundraiser for the year. The NSSRC is also the organizers and the sponsors of many of the youth skiing and running programs in the community, including the Y-Ski program, and both of the Vikings high school athletic teams for Cross Country Running and Cross Country Skiing.

Registration for this race will open soon, but we are encouraging folks to start to book their vacations around this time early!

The race is held one week before the epic American Birkebeiner and would be a great opportunity for any Birkie participant who would like to test their mettle before the big race.
