Grand Rapids, MI
The route uses parts of an actual marathon course and winds through Millennium Park, so this is genuine long-run terrain rather than something designed for a short race. The start is from a parking lot entrance at GVSU, and there are a few aid stations spread along the way. Bathrooms are available once the YMCA on the route opens for the morning.
