The 2026 Short’s Shortest Marathon: 262 Feet of GloryThink you've got what it takes to conquer a marathon?
Don’t worry—this isn't that. Welcome to our take on a race—a grueling, sweat-inducing, totally ridiculous 262-foot dash designed for champions of chug, in-and-around the Short’s Brewing Company production campus and ending with cheers at the Pull Barn. Join us for the first-ever Short's Shortest Marathon. The walk back to the Pull Barn may be longer than the actual race, but trust us: 262 feet is just long enough to justify wearing athletic gear so you can claim eternal bragging rights and a sweet race cup, all while raising funds for TART Trails' Nakwema Trailway Project.
What to expect:
-A "marathon" that's over faster than you can say Thirst Mutilator
-Official short-sleeved Short’s Shortest Race commemorative tee
-Commemorative aluminum cup
-A bib number you will want to post on Instagram, tag @shortsbrewing (duh!)
-An aid station strategically located at the course midpoint to provide maximum hydration
-Finish line glory - complete with cheers, high fives, and photos (think: the theme from Rocky)
-An afternoon post-race celebration at your favorite watering hole in Elk Rapids
-All proceeds from the event will go towards the TART Trails' Nakwema Trailway project, which makes your athletic accomplishment even better than an ice-cold Huma Lupa Licious.
