Join us for the once-annual opportunity to walk the five-mile Mackinac Bridge.
Participants have three options for the walk:
-
Halfway Turnaround: Start from either St. Ignace or Mackinaw City, walk to the midpoint, and return to your starting point.
-
One-Way Crossing: Walk the entire bridge from one end to the other. No bus transportation is provided; participants must arrange their own return transportation after the bridge reopens at noon.
-
Round Trip (Double Cross): Walk the bridge both ways for a 10-mile journey. To complete the round trip, you must reach the midpoint on your return by 10:00 AM.
Participants who do not reach the midpoint by 10:00 AM will be turned back to ensure the bridge reopens to traffic on time.
Starting Points and Parking
- St. Ignace: The starting location has been moved to Bridge View Park, located west of I-75, for improved safety and convenience.
- Mackinaw City: Participants can start from the south end of the bridge.
Walkers will use the left-hand outside paved lane when starting from either side. Those turning back at the midpoint will return using the opposite side outside paved lane.
