Route Map



Our Route is basically the same as last year, minus the Woodward construction. Racers will start a bit further north on Woodward north of I-75 (marked by the RE/MAX balloon) and turn onto Alfred as you round back to the same finish line (still by the statues of the Tiger Greats). If you're in front, follow the pace car. If you're not, follow the other racers.

Walkers need to get over to the west lanes of Woodward to make room for racers and lead walkers who are returning in the east lanes. Cheer each other on!

Walkers will start and end in the same place-under the balloon arch near Hockeytown.

Water will be available at the Hancock-John R-Forest Aid Station, and both Racer and Walker finish lines after the Race.

Team MEET


Team MEET is located at 111 Witherell, the Olympia Lot bordered by Witherell, Adams, Madison and John R. It is directly across from the southwest corner of Comerica Park-- a very short walk to Opening Ceremonies and the Walkers' Start. Team MEET opens at 6:30 a.m. and closes at 7:45 a.m. to allow you time to get to the 8:00 a.m. Opening Ceremony.
