On a Facebook post on the event’s page Wednesday evening, organizers said while the Marquette area has received snow recently, there was still not enough to safely cover rocky outcroppings, even on a modified route.
Organizers said they intend on deferring the event to next year, along with any registrations for this year’s race.
