Labor Day Mackinac Bridge Run

Known as the Mighty Mac, the Mackinac Bridge is the longest suspension bridge in the western hemisphere and the fifth longest suspension bridge in the world. Imagine for a moment - the sounds of seagulls flying above, ferry boat horns and waves crashing on the shoreline below, views of Mackinac Island and vast Great Lakes Vistas alongside you, the sun rising and washing the sky with glorious shades of orange...this is the Labor Day Mackinac Bridge Run, and it is the only running event on the Mackinac Bridge.

This non-competitive run is organized by Michigan Fitness Foundation and the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness, Health and Sports with support from Michigan Department of Transportation, and Mackinac Bridge Authority and is the only running event on the Mackinac Bridge. 

To register and participate in this event, you must share a link to recent race results (past three years) that shows your ability to run a minimum pace of 15 minutes or less.
