The IHA Half Marathon is our main event. It's the big kahuna! If you want the full Dexter to Ann Arbor experience, then this is the event for you. It's 13.1 miles of winding scenery on Huron River Drive. New for 2007, all finishers will receive a custom-designed medal (see below).
Please note:
This event is not for walkers, and all runners must be able to maintain a pace of at least 12 minutes per mile. For more information on the pace requirement, see Rules of the Road.
If you're up for a challenge, then we've got one for you! Show up early and enjoy the bus ride to the starting line of this race adventure!
