We are currently in the process of organizing our pace teams for the 2023 event. If you can’t keep pace, you will be required to board a bus following the pacers to be transported back to the Start/Finish area. If you fall significantly behind the pacer, you will be given fair warning to pick up the pace. Your progress will be monitored throughout the race. The pacer will travel at the average pace needed to cross the finish line at six and a half hours. We will close the marathon finish line at 2 p.m., with roads incrementally opening along the course up to the 2 p.m. You must be able to complete the marathon in 6.5 hours from the time the Last Chance Pacer crosses the start line. The Marathon turn-by-turn instructions are here. Groups are based on the projected pace indicated on the registration form, so an accurate response is necessary. With a wave start, participants are sent off at three-minute intervals beginning at 7 a.m., which eases congestion in those early miles. (All courses will require municipal approval and USATF measurement.) We’re back again to running internationally in 2023 and we’ve kept the additions of Detroit features like the Woodbridge neighborhood, the District Detroit, Eastern Market, the Dequindre Cut and a finish line at the foot of Campus Martius. The 2023 Marathon route includes some of the most dramatic improvements to the course in the race’s 45-year history. Age RestrictionĪll participants of the Detroit Free Press Marathon must be 16 years of age or older by race day to participate. Please check back for updates as marathon weekend approaches. Ensure lowest prices by registering early!
