I have wanted to do the Detroit Marathon for several years now. I finally moved back to the Midwest but found that the Detriot Marathon was on the same day as the Columbus Marathon every year. Although I love Columbus, I figure it's finally time to check out Detroit!
Use code "DETROITBRP17" and recieve 10% off your registration fee!
The draw of the marathon to me is that you get to cross over into Canada entering on Ambassador Bridge and exiting on Detroit-Windsor Tunnel. There is an additional bridge crossing aroung mile 19 where you add a few miles on Belle Isle.
I worked for General Motors in Detroit so I'm exited to head back!
Here's the course map for the marathon:
