Connect Conference
Regularly hosted at Northern Michigan University, Connect Marquette’s Professional Development Conference consists of learning and discussion focused on current topics suitable for a general audience looking for personal growth and professional development.
Iron Range Roll
The Iron Range Roll is a 12-mile point-to-point fun (but timed) race from Ishpeming to Marquette along the Iron Ore Heritage Trail. This ride celebrates the heritage and recreational culture of Marquette County all in the name of giving back to our community’s youth via youth programs with local partners.
