Cyclist biked in the 9th Annual Iron Range Roll today, helping make history as nearly 300 participates hit the Iron Ore Heritage Trail for the race. Each year the proceeds from the Iron Range Roll are donated back to the YMCA of Marquette County’s Youth Programs. With more riders than ever and help from our sponsors, Connect Marquette expects to donate over $10,000 to our YMCA!
Following the race, the Iron Range Roll Committee hosted an after party and awards ceremony at Ore Dock Brewing Company in Downtown Marquette. Utilizing the upper floor of the venue, attendees listened to live music from The Wallens and snacked on food from Tadych’s Marketplace Foods and Lawry’s Pasty Shop.
Big thank you to everyone who participated, our volunteers, and our Iron Range Roll sponsors:
