Mackinac Island, United States • 25 Oct 2025

Great Turtle Trail Run on Mackinac Island, Michigan, wraps up RunMackinac’s four-race series with the Half Marathon and a 5.7 Mile Run (plus Walk and virtual options). The 28th anniversary event showcases late-season Mackinac beauty, with courses that travel shoreline views and interior island trails. The Half Marathon starts in front of Mission Point Resort, follows the lakefront, then weaves through bike trails and island roads before finishing back at Mission Point.

The 5.7-Mile course begins near Straits Lodge and ends at the same finish. Participants receive a commemorative garment, a finish medal, photos, post-race refreshments, and Halloween festivities nearby. Trio Medal eligibility is noted for completing three RunMackinac events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
