Welcome to Marquette County.

We commit the following: We’ll find a way to make it go, and go in a way we’re proud to call it a 906AT experience. It’s as important to us as it is to you. We will work with RAMBA and NTN Trails to explore signage alternatives in the event we need to run Marji across a couple of weeks. September is far enough away that we’re going to let things play out further, and we’ll develop a game plan for multiple scenarios. Here’s the main takeaway: we plan to run Marji Gesick – with signage and in a safe way capable of resonating with the Marji community you’ve helped us create.  If you haven’t already, get ready to #findyourlmits. We have a date with #unfinishedbusiness.

“I’ve done some hard stuff. Leadville, Maah Daah Hey 100, Heck Epic, La Ruta de Los Conquistadores, Lumberjack 100, Butte 100.

Hands down, Marji is the most terrible of them all.” – ‎Matthew Webb‎

Don’t be a #quitter, have a plan that’ll get you off the mat

We’ve partnered with Rob Lee, one of the top endurance coaches in the world, to build training plans for every level of rider. If you’re looking for a personal best on our short race or you’re trying to reach the podium on our long race we’ve got ya covered. The weather up here in The U.P. is unpredictable, prepare for it.

It’s all about community.

906 Adventure Team is a 501c3 Non-Profit based in Marquette, Michigan. Since 2014 we have been creating outdoor adventure experiences for youth through Adventure Bike Club and events like Polar Roll, The Crusher, and Marji Gesick. Our take on life is pretty simple – it’s an adventure. In life (and adventure) stuff doesn’t always go to plan. Things go wrong. Bad things happen to good people and you don’t overcome it by complaining or pointing fingers. The truth is adversity brings out the best of us – by taking us down unknown paths to find it. 

 

906 Adventure Team uses revenue from the events to support trail organizations and create more youth Adventure Teams. 

 

The Marji Gesick will donate $27,000 to local trails this year, bringing total trail donations since 2015 to $216,000. 

 

In 2022, with the help of corporate partners, we invested $40,000 in youth programs for three new Adventure Team communities. Resilience, confidence, community, and a sense of belonging have never been more important than it is for kids today. Adventure Teams help them “find their people”, the way you feel like you’ve found yours at Marji. 

 

We want you to know when you support 906 Adventure Team and the events you’re making life better here in Marquette County and in communities across the Midwest.
