Founded in 2004, the Grand Rapids Marathon delivers a fun, highly personal, authentic race experience, particularly for runners who value a well-organized, personal experience over the chaotic, crowded fields of “big city” races through ”concrete canyons.”
We are a race that supports every runner - no one is a stranger on our course - celebrates every individual accomplishment and embodies the spirit of friendship and community that is so unique to running.
