Detroit Marathon

The Detroit Free Press Marathon is a unique race that takes runners on an international journey, starting and finishing in downtown Detroit, Michigan. Participants experience the thrill of crossing the U.S.-Canada border twice, first over the Ambassador Bridge with breathtaking views of the Detroit River at sunrise, and then back through the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, the only underwater mile in a marathon. The course is lined with enthusiastic spectators and vibrant neighborhoods, creating an electric atmosphere that propels runners forward. The crisp autumn air and the city's rich history add to the exhilarating challenge, making it a memorable experience for all.
