Holland Haven Marathon XIII: 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.

Holland Haven runners can also join virtually, earning a commemorative race medal regardless of their race-day attendance.

Our 2026 event celebrates America's 250th birthday, honoring running, community, and national pride along one of West Michigan's most scenic routes.

Creating beautiful memories for runners to celebrate with our entire Holland community.

    Lake Michigan RTS combines Road, Trail, and Sand to provide a truly unique 10k race experience along the Lake Michigan shoreline. Whether you’re a road racer looking to mix things up a bit, an avid trail runner, or just a running adventurer, this race has something for you. The best part?

    Start and Finish

    There will be one start at 8:30am and runners will finish at the same location as the start line.

    Parking opens at 7:30am.

    Course

    Please be aware that this is a challenging race - it will start out on the road, head into hilly trails, and through soft dune sand at a steep incline. Participation by those younger than 16 is discouraged.

    Much of the Lake Michigan RTS course runs through private property. We are granted easement for the event only. Out of respect for the privacy of the landowners, we are not permitted to publish a detailed course map.

    On Course Water/Hydration:

    All participants are required to carry their own hydration during the race. There will be water to fill your bottle/hydration system at the start of the race, but participants are encouraged to come with a fully filled hydration system. Water will be available at the finish line.

    It can be very hot on the course - especially in the dune bowl. Participants MUST have a hydration system, water bottle, or other method to carry water with them in order to be allowed to start the race.

    The purpose of the 9th Annual Emerson the Brave Stampede 5K Fun Run & Color Run is to raise vital funds and awareness for DIPG (diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma), DMG (diffuse midline glioma) and other pediatric brain cancers in honor of our forever 12-year old daughter, Emerson. Emerson battled DMG and radiation induced high grade glioma brain cancers for over 6 years before losing her battle in July 2024. Less than 2% of children diagnosed with DIPG/DMG survive 5 years post diagnosis. Emerson’s miracle survival was due to research and clinical trials supported by The ChadTough Defeat DIPG Foundation. Every year since Emerson’s diagnosis, our community has come together to raise money to help fund the amazing strides the doctors and researchers have made against this terrible disease.

    We have partnered with the Carr and Mosier Families to become an official Partner Family of the ChadTough Defeat DIPG Foundation, to continue to support the handful of doctors and researchers throughout the United States who have dedicated their lives to developing an effective treatment plan for DIPG. The good news is that these individuals are making real progress! The challenge is that they are almost entirely funded through private donations.

    Join us for the 9th Annual Emerson the Brave Stampede: 5K Fun Run and Color Run to help make a difference in the fight against DIPG/DMG!

    Packet pickup up will be open at Great Lakes Elementary School on race day Sunday 9/20 from 8:00am-9:45am.
