Join us for one of Northern Michigan’s most scenic and memorable race days at the Run the Pier Summer Running Festival in Manistee, Michigan. This annual event takes runners out onto Manistee’s iconic north pier, around the lighthouse, and along the Lake Michigan shoreline for a truly unique race experience. Whether you’re chasing a PR or just looking for a great reason to lace up and enjoy the summer, Run the Pier is built for all levels. Race distances include a 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and Full Marathon. Expect a beautiful, fast, and well-supported course with professional timing, custom finisher awards, an official Run the Pier race shirt, aid stations, and enthusiastic volunteers. The festival fosters a welcoming atmosphere for runners, families, and spectators. Run the Pier is more than a race—it’s a celebration of movement, community, and summer on the lakeshore. Come test yourself, run with friends, or experience your first race in a setting you won’t forget. Registration is open but spots are limited, so secure yours and make plans to run the pier this summer.
