Ypsilanti, MI
Next year's date is not listed yet. This page updates when it is.
The course winds through a university campus in Ypsilanti, and the finish is inside the football stadium, on the turf. That detail alone sets this one apart. It runs on Homecoming weekend, so the campus has more energy than a typical morning, and the crowd reflects that.
Proceeds from the race go toward supporting student-athletes, including a team trip to climb a mountain together, so there is a tangible reason behind the entry fee beyond the race itself.

Going by the 2026 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 22, 2026.
Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 35:41, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:07:22, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
It is a small race (154 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:09 while the median finisher took 35:41. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
