Detroit Free Press Marathon

About This Event

The annual Detroit Free Press Marathon weekend kicks off with the Health & Fitness Expo and various race events.

What to Expect

• 1.The expo is a good place to pick up race materials and browse running gear, but it can get busy around packet pickup. Check your race instructions before you arrive so you know what you need and where to go.
• 2.This is a marathon weekend, not just an expo visit, so expect runners, families, and supporters moving through Huntington Place and downtown Detroit.
• 3.Wear comfortable shoes and leave extra time for downtown traffic, parking, and walking between your car or transit stop and the convention center.
• 4.If you are coming for the expo, plan a route through the vendor area before you start browsing; it is easy to spend longer there than expected.
• 5.Food and drink options inside a convention center can be limited or pricey, so have a meal beforehand and bring water if event rules allow.
