Dexter-Ann Arbor Run 2026

The Dexter-Ann Arbor Run sends its half marathon field from Dexter, Michigan, to historic Downtown Ann Arbor. The series also includes a 10K, 5K, Kids Run, and virtual options for the half marathon, 10K, and 5K, so it works for club runners, families, and people who want the event without traveling to the start line. The Ann Arbor Track Club organizes it, and the race has been held annually since 1974. The half marathon is a 13.1-mile point-to-point race, with shuttles helping runners get to the start in Dexter before they run into Ann Arbor. The 10K is a 6.2-mile out-and-back course, while the Kids Run opens the day to children ages 2 to 12. Participants get custom tech shirts and finisher medals, which gives the event a traditional race-day feel rather than just a set of timed routes.
