Overview

The Armed Services Marathon, Half Marathon & 5K, set in Grand Haven, Michigan, is a distinguished event that pays tribute to the military and first responders. Held at Grand Haven High School, this race is not only a competitive sporting event but also a commemoration of the services and sacrifices of the armed forces and emergency services personnel. With each branch of the military presenting booths and exhibits, and the inclusion of a Joint Services Honor Guard and The National Anthem performance, the event creates a patriotic atmosphere that honors the spirit of service.
