Your 2026 Winter Race Calendar

What better way to stay warm than to get moving? This week's Northern Express, sister publication of The Ticker, features a winter 2026 race calendar with 20-plus events for runners, skiers, fat bike racers, and snowshoers. There are 5Ks for those seeking a more casual event, plus races for kids as well. Before you run to the starting line, please check race websites for the most up-to-date information, as some events are dependent on snow conditions.

The Northern Express is available to read online, or pick up a free copy on newsstands at more than 650 locations in 13 counties across northern Michigan.
