Overview
The hills, trees and backwoods riverbanks of Michigan’s Huron River Drive are the setting for the annual Dexter to Ann Arbor Run, a road race event with a half marathon, a 10K, a 5K and a kids fun run that takes runners on a course exactly as its name suggests, from the town of Dexter along an eastward route along the Huron River to the finish in downtown Ann Arbor.
Hilly and fairly challenging, the race is run on paved surfaces throughout the entire course, and features its only real flat stretches of any length for two miles during the entire race. The race draws thousands of runners every year, including just over 2,500 finishers in the half marathon last year.
Course Description
Runners follow a point-to-point route for the half marathon, which starts at Dexter’s Creekside Intermediate School on Baker Road and proceeds along an eastward route along the Huron River to the finish in downtown Ann Arbor, where runners will cross the finish line on North Main Street. Hilly and fairly challenging, the race is run on paved surfaces throughout the entire course and takes runners through a combination of city streets, neighborhoods and wooded parks.
