Upon arrival at Lakeshore Boulevard, the marathon runners and half marathon runners will divide as follows:

  • Half marathon participants will turn south on the path for a short distance then turn around and run to Pine Street to finish at the Superior Dome.

The races cross numerous streets including Wilson, McClellan, Fifth, Fourth, Third, Front, Lakeshore, Baraga, Hampton, Island Beach, and Hawley.

Pine Street between Fair and Lakeshore Boulevard will be closed on Saturday from 5:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
