Run the Pier Summer Running Festival

Run the Pier is an annual running event held in Manistee. The race takes participants out and onto Manistee’s north pier and around its iconic lighthouse as part of a 5K and 10K. For runners who wish have a bit more of a challenge a 1/2 marathon and Full Marathon options are available. These races take the athletes on a beautiful, winding run along scenic lakeshore drive for the Full Marathon. The Half Marathon route is undergoing changes. All Routes will be posted on our website and added to the participant newsletter once finalized. Annual participation brings 500 plus athletes to Manistee from out of town. Run the Pier will be held on Saturday, July 26. Post-race adult beverages will be available.
