Lace up your running shoes for the 7 Bridges 7 Brews, an unforgettable evening race on Saturday, July 18, 2026, in historic Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. Choose your challenge with either a 5K run/walk or a 10K run, both starting at 7:00 PM from the LSSU campus. This unique event takes you on an exhilarating journey across the seven iconic bridges that connect the city's charming downtown island area, offering picturesque views as you race into the twilight hours. The 10K course extends further, hugging the scenic St. Mary's River coast towards the Sugar Island Ferry drive, with an aid station at the turnaround to keep you fueled before heading back.

What truly sets 7 Bridges 7 Brews apart is its vibrant atmosphere and a course that celebrates the city's distinctive geography, winding through the historic LSSU campus before crossing the bridges over the man-made canal that forms the downtown island. Runners often praise the festive spirit and the unique nighttime experience. Typical race day conditions in mid-July feature pleasant temperatures, with highs around 79F and lows near 57F, and only an 11% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for an evening run.

The celebration continues after you cross the finish line downtown at Bird's Eye Outfitters. Prepare for an epic "Island Themed" post-race party featuring live entertainment, a costume contest, and a tantalizing selection of seven brews from sponsors like Athletic Brewing and Les Cheneaux Distillery. All participants are rewarded with a unique medal, a custom tumbler, and a drink token to enjoy the festivities. More than just a race, 7 Bridges 7 Brews is a community event that supports a great cause, with proceeds benefiting the OUT House Consortium, dedicated to developing and promoting non-motorized trail systems in the Sault Ste. Marie area.
