Event Description

Run the River • Destination Ann Arbor

The beautiful shaded backwoods of the Huron River region provide the setting for the annual Dexter to Ann Arbor Run since 1974. Choose from a 5k, 10k, or the classic half marathon, which takes runners on a scenic, gently rolling 13.1 mile course.

Start the half marathon in the picturesque town of Dexter, Michigan and head east along Huron River Dr. to the big finish in historic downtown Ann Arbor. — a Road Runners Club of America’s top Runner-friendly Community in the U.S.

The 10k event starts in downtown Ann Arbor and finishes at the same spot as the half marathon, while the 5k has been redesigned to be a point-to-point course from Newport Rd. to Downtown Ann Arbor. Shuttles are provided from downtown Ann Arbor to both the 5k and half marathon start lines.
