  Looking to qualify for Boston Marathon or set a new PR for yourself? Grand Rapids Metro Health Marathon is the way to go then!

Last year, nearly 20% of all marathon runners qualified for the Boston Marathon. This is a flat, fast course and is an important qualifying opportunity for dedicated runners.

The full marathon will give runners a tour of downtown Grand Rapids and then head out of the city and into the beautiful trails of Millennium Park to show just how great Michigan is in the fall.
