Recurring Marathon races near Ann Arbor

Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

Haunted 5K, 10K, 13.1M & 26.2M at Lansing, MI (43)
SAT OCT 24
The Haunted 5K, 10K, 13.1M & 26.2M is a late-October running event in Lansing, Michigan, offering four distances: 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon. All races begin at 9:30 AM. Advance registration is required through RunSignup, as there is no race-day signup available on site. The courses are straightforward out-and-backs. The 5K completes one loop, the 10K completes two, the half marathon completes four, and the marathon completes eight. Packet pickup is available 30 minutes before the start and concludes 10 minutes prior. Participants should anticipate a park vehicle fee upon entry, charged per car, not per person.
MERCY HEALTH GLASS CITY MARATHON
SAT APR 24
The Mercy Health Glass City Marathon is a spring marathon in Toledo, Ohio, run on a fast, flat 26.2-mile course organized by the Toledo Roadrunners Club. It draws a marathon field of up to 2,000 runners and is built for speed: it regularly ranks among the top 25 fastest marathons, and more than a third of the field runs a Boston Marathon qualifying time. The weekend also offers shorter races, with the Owens Corning Half Marathon, the Savage 5K, and the North Star BlueScope 5-Person Marathon Relay sharing the broader Glass City setup. The marathon and half marathon start on the University of Toledo campus and finish inside Glass Bowl Stadium, giving the race a clear college-campus anchor rather than a generic downtown finish. The half marathon covers 13.1 miles with about 3,000 runners, while the Savage 5K starts by the Clock Tower and ends on the stadium field with more than 1,000 finishers. The full marathon’s speed record is not just marketing: the race has produced the fourth-fastest American marathon, the fastest American marathon debut, the fastest marathon run in Ohio, and Olympic Marathon Trials qualifying performances.

About Marathon races in Ann Arbor

Ann Arbor Training Notes

Ann Arbor hosts 5 Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals build base miles on the Border-to-Border Trail, Gallup Park Loop, Argo/Bandemer Loop, and the University of Michigan Campus & Downtown Ann Arbor. The B2B runs over 35 miles across Washtenaw County, and Gallup Park gives one full loop at about 3 miles. Bird Hills Nature Area, County Farm Park, Lillie Park, and Leslie Nature Center keep recovery days soft, wooded, and winding. Ann Arbor Running Company anchors the week with Monday 5K, Tuesday intervals, Thursday 5K, and Saturday long runs. Ann Arbor Track Club, PR Run Club, Ann Arbor Runners, Ann-Hua Runners, Bandit Racing Team, Fleet Feet, Michigan AA Next Level Running Club, and Tree Town Trail Runners keep the calendar full. Dexter-Ann Arbor Run and The Big House 5K feel like anchor events.

Locals ride a little gravel, a little tarmac, a little multi-use path, and even some singletrack. Ann Arbor Bicycle Touring Society and Ann Arbor Velo Club give the road scene a real club spine. AABTS ThNR runs 6 km with 211 m. AAVC ThNR runs 7 km with 436 m and turns 63 km into fast rotations, breakaways, chases, and 5 designated sprints. The Dirt Hammer starts at Barton Nature Area, and the Nacho Ride goes about 50 miles west of town. Stein Road brings the hills, and plenty of routes add punchy climbs.

Spring and Autumn are the cleanest months for stacking Z2, intervals, long runs, gravel days, and cyclocross legs. Summer brings warm to hot humid days, with average highs around 27°C and the heaviest precipitation of the year. Locals still run early, use the Huron River paths, and keep Gallup Park or the B2B in the mix. Winter changes the kit first, because average highs sit around -1°C and snowfall averages 91 cm per season. Roads are often plowed, bike lanes do not get cleared, and studded tires are easy to find when ice shows up. Runners shift to Broadway Winter Route energy and use roads when it is dark.
