Overview

A lot of thought went into making Trenton Summerfest the perfect early summer race! With an early start for the Half Marathon, athletes will get a chance to beat the heat! The Half Marathon course is gorgeous, fast, and flat with only 96’ of elevation gain. The 8K course offers a little more variety with rolling hills in gorgeous Elizabeth Park at the start. You’ll also enjoy the Trenton Summer Festival atmosphere in downtown Trenton! The 5K is a great race for a fast time (the course record is 15:24.07!) or to get out and enjoy a fun run or walk with friends.

For an added level of excitement, this race serves as the second race in the Trivium Mega Medal Series. The finisher medal, along with 5 others, connect to create one giant medal!

Course Description

We love this race and its amazing course. There aren’t many races downriver anymore, but downtown Trenton has a long history with endurance running, and we aim to revive it! This entire course is gorgeous, fast and flat. Athletes will start with a loop around beautiful Elizabeth Park. Athletes will then head south on the fast and flat Downriver Linked Greenway. The bottom of the course runs along the Detroit River with views or Lake Eerie and a few river islands in Gibraltar before heading back to Trenton. The course is USATF certified, well-marked and well aided! Come on out for an early summer half marathon!!
