CALUMET — The Great Deer Chase mountain bike race, presented by Cross Country Sports, which will take place on the Swedetown Trails, has extended early bird pricing by four days to celebrate Independence Day.

Participants are encouraged to register today for one of the great events at the Great Deer Chase, with all of the proceeds going straight back to the trails. They are also encouraged to come experience the fun with great prizes and a family friendly atmosphere on the same day as Calumet’s Pasty Fest.

Registration is open, and the first 120 paid registrants will get a custom commemorative Great Deer Chase stem top cap from ONYX Racing Products, and t-shirt designed by local artist Chris Schmidt of Studio 13, printed by Level Up Custom Apparel Specialists.

The next 80 registrants (121-200) will receive the ONYX top cap only, but no shirt.

Information and registration info can be found at www.greatdeerchase.org.

A special award sponsored by McGann’s Building Supply will be given to the fastest male and female in the Great Deer Chase Long Race, and the Ore to Shore Hard Rock in Marquette the weekend prior.
