The Noquemanon Ski Marathon, locally referred to as "The Noque", is a point-to-point cross-country ski race held in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan during the last weekend of January. Starting from Ishpeming and ending in Marquette, the race showcases the scenery and terrain characteristic of Upper Michigan. In addition, due to its proximity to Lake Superior, the race is well known for its premier snow conditions, a result of lake effect snow created by Lake Superior. It is part of the American Ski Marathon Series.
