Midwest Trail Running Documentary – The Pickle Juice Project:
MN trail running friends Jeff and Lucy are working on a fun and creative documentary about Midwest Trail Running, and are looking to hear from runners who are doing Superior 100 for the first time, or better yet Superior as their very first 100 mile race. They are looking to interview and keep tabs on a few runners’ progress throughout the season. Check out the official film trailer and learn more about the project at thepicklejuiceproject.com then contact Jeff and Lucy at [email protected] if you are interested in sharing your journey.

Mile in My Shoes (MiMS)
The Superior Fall Trail Race and Rocksteady Running is proud to introduce Mile in My Shoes as an official charity partner for our 2023 events! Mile in My Shoes (MiMS) is a Twin Cities Minnesota based nonprofit that uses the power of running to bring together people from diverse backgrounds to build connections, boost wellness, spark social change, and center people traditionally excluded from running spaces. Based in homeless shelters, addiction recovery programs and re-entry centers for people exiting incarceration, MiMS views running as a tool for both personal and collective transformation.
