Holland Haven Marathon XII: Running - Community - Celebration
The Holland Haven Marathon offers runners a scenic experience along Lake Michigan, starting in Grand Haven and finishing in downtown Holland. This USATF certified marathon takes place in early September, providing mild weather and a final chance to qualify for the Boston Marathon.
The Holland Haven Half Marathon starts at Camp Geneva and follows a picturesque route along Lakeshore Drive into Holland, featuring a mostly flat course on paved paths.
The 8K race serves as a perfect introduction to longer distances, with a flat, out-and-back course suitable for both novice and experienced runners.
Participants can also join virtually, earning a commemorative medal regardless of their race-day attendance.
