About the Millennium Meadows Marathon

This late-summer Grand Rapids full is organized by the team behind the city's fall marathon. Its loop format creates a lower-key alternative with predictable access to aid and spectators.

Course

Runners repeat a layout across meadow areas and paved trails. The compact design simplifies support and logistics, while multiple laps require focus and can magnify sun or wind on open ground.

Race-day weather

Late August in western Michigan can be warm, humid and sunny, though a cool morning is possible. Open meadow sections offer little relief if heat builds during the race.
