Gear up for the Heartland Series Marathon on July 6-12, 2024, featuring convenient race day packet pickup and registration one hour before the start at the race line. Early starters can collect their packets 30 minutes before their designated time. There’s no time limit, and our “no runner left behind” policy ensures a supportive environment until the last participant crosses the finish line. Walkers are warmly welcomed, but for the safety and comfort of all, pets are not allowed; however, strollers for small children are permitted.
Day 2 unfolds in scenic Michigan at Riverfront Park in Niles. To reach the race starting point from downtown Niles, head south on S 3rd Street to Bond Street, then turn right into the park. The course boasts a smooth paved path with a brief section through the parking lot, offering moderate shade for a pleasant running experience. With an elevation gain of 26 feet per lap, runners can anticipate 14 laps for the marathon. Join us for an inclusive and enjoyable race day experience in the Heartland Series!
