Event Schedule
Marathon - 7:15AM
Rated one of the best marathons in the USA by numerous magazines, publications and websites, the Detroit Free Press/Flagstar Bank Marathon offers a flat/fast course, interesting scenery, superb support, and the most exciting finish in marathoning - on the 50-yard line of Ford Field (home of the Detroit Lions).
Half-Marathon - 7:15AM
The only international Half-Marathon in the world! Experience the excitement of the Detroit Marathon - the start/finish, support and highlights of the course. If you're not up for the full 26.2 miles of a marathon, are training for another race or just feel like it, the Detroit Half Marathon is a great option. Be one of the first to experience this fantastic race in its inaugural year!
5-Person Marathon Relay - 7:15
One of our most popular events - this one sells out early! Team members will run legs of between 3 and 7 miles, so seasoned runners can participate with less experienced members. Team members from the earlier legs are encouraged to run into the finish with their teammate who completes the final leg!
Kids Mini-Marathon - 7:45AM (limited to 1,500 runners combined with the 5K Fun Run)
The Kids Mini Marathon will be held in conjunction with the 5K Fun Run and Fitness Walk. It is a 5K distance and will start and finish with all 5K runners/walkers. This makes it possible for moms and dads, aunts and uncles, and grandmothers and grandfathers to run/walk with the children.
5K - 7:45AM (limited to 1,500 runners)
5K participants experience the same exciting start and finish as the marathon and half marathon, and one of the most diverse 5K courses in Michigan. After the event, stay to cheer on the finishers in the Half Marathon and Marathon.
