Official Results
In Copper Harbor, Michigan, Eric Charette competed in Run The Keweenaw, a 3-event, 2-day stage race. The format was a 6km hill climb on Saturday morning at 9am from the shores of Lake Superior to the summit of Mount Lookout. (Runners have to run back down the hill as there is no crew access). Then there is a 12km trail run at 5pm on the Copper Harbor ski/hike/bike trails, followed by a 25km trail run on Sunday morning at 8am, totalling just over a marathon in distance.
Eric finished 4th in the hill climb, 3rd in the 12km and 3rd in the 25km, totalling 10 points which earned him 3rd place overall for the entire RTK stage race weekend.
