The Short's Shortest Marathon

The Short’s Shortest Marathon is an event held at the Short’s Brewing Company production campus, concluding at the Pull Barn. Described as a dash, it offers a uniquely brief race experience. Participants receive a commemorative tee, aluminum cup, and a bib number, with a post-race celebration in Elk Rapids. Finishers are awarded a bottle opener medal. The event serves as a fundraiser, with all proceeds supporting the TART Trail Nakwema Trailway Project. It aims to provide an amusing take on an endurance challenge.
