Description

Run the Pier Running Festival is a premier annual race experience set along the beautiful Manistee lakeshore, showcasing some of the most iconic scenery Northern Michigan has to offer.

Participants will run out onto Manistee’s historic North Pier, circling the legendary lighthouse before heading back along the shoreline in one of four race options: 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, or Full Marathon. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or simply taking in the views, this is a course you won’t forget.

This year’s festival features 600 total finisher awards—so run strong and earn yours. Every registered athlete will receive an Official Run the Pier Running Festival T-shirt, along with additional swag items (to be announced).

The Full Marathon, Half Marathon, and 10K courses wind along scenic Lakeshore Drive, delivering sweeping Lake Michigan views, fresh air, and a true Northern Michigan running experience. All routes will be published on our website and shared through participant newsletters once finalized—thank you for your patience as we finalize details.

Run the Pier continues to grow each year, welcoming 600+ athletes from out of town, bringing energy and excitement to Manistee each summer.

📅 Saturday, July 25th 🍳 Food trucks on-site with breakfast and lunch options for athletes, families, and spectators.

Run the pier. Circle the lighthouse. Finish with the lake at your side.
