Detroit Free Press Marathon, Presented by MSUFCU
The Detroit Free Press Marathon runs Friday, October 16, through Sunday, October 18, in Detroit, based at Huntington Place. The course winds through Woodbridge, Eastern Market and the Dequindre Cut and finishes at the foot of Campus Martius. Registration and tickets are available online.
It's one of the few truly international marathon courses in the world, and it's a real tour of Detroit: historic Woodbridge, the District Detroit, Eastern Market and the Dequindre Cut, with the finish line at the foot of Campus Martius.
The race uses a wave start, sending runners off at three-minute intervals beginning at 7 a.m., which eases congestion in the early miles. Groups are set by the projected pace you list on the registration form, so answer that one accurately.
