History

The predecessor to this race was the Motor City Marathon which started in 1963 and featured multiple laps on Belle Isle. Until 1968, the race was held on Thanksgiving Day.[3]

The first international marathon was organized by former Detroit Free Press editor and publisher Neal Shine, who was inspired to produce a race in Detroit after witnessing the Falmouth Road Race in Boston during a family vacation.[4] [5]

From 1978 to 1998 the race started in Windsor and finished in Detroit. The race has had several other sponsors, changing the name slightly each time.

2009's field was a record 19,326 runners who participated.[6]

The 2020 in-person edition of the race was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. Registrants were given the option of running the race on their own courses, transferring their entry to 2021 or 2022, or obtaining a 50 percent refund.[7]

The male and female winners of the 2024 race, Andy Bowman and Sydney Devore, were also a married couple.[8]
