    The Mackinac Island Swim is a FUN and challenging event (not a race). Come join us for up to 8.2 miles of swimming in this clear blue water with some of the greatest backdrops Pure Michigan has to offer!! Enjoy the finish line festivities following your swim. All sales of merchandise, raffles and auctions held the weekend of the event go to support the 501(c)3 non-Profit The Mackinaw Woman's Club. This year we hope to best our 2025 total of $30,000.

    Two packet pick-up options will be available before the event. Both options will be in Mackinaw City, one on Friday night and the other on Saturday. Specific times and locations will be announced closer to event day.

    The finish line puts you at the beautiful shores of the Mission Point Resort where our gracious sponsors will host our finish line festivities. Come rain or shine you and your fellow swimmers and family will have a beautiful and dry spot to celebrate and eat (swimmers meal is covered, tickets must be purchased in advance for friends and family. A link will be sent well in advance to purchase tickets).

    Included with your $299 registration fee:

    • Entry to the Swim

    • 1 Event towel (or equivalent)

    • 1 Finisher Medal

    • 1 Finish Line Meal Ticket

    Please note that the relay price is $249/person*. This will not be reflected until the end of registration at the payment screen. *The participant that starts/sets up the relay team will be charged the individual price, and will then be refunded $50 once a new relay member registers to the team.

    Parking: Parking will be available in a grass lot at Bridge View Park. We ask to avoid parking in the main asphalt lot to allow travelers, that are not participating in the race, ample parking space. Parking is free.

    Course Details: The course will start in a grassy section of Bridge View Park at the 12 foot tall Yooper Running Company blow up arch (you can't miss it). You will proceed to Boulevard Drive and run/walk West for 4.53Km before turning around to head towards the finish. There are excellent bridge and water views in both directions along the course. Boulevard Drive is composed of hard packed limestone gravel. There are a few potholes but otherwise it is a smooth road. Make sure not to trespass on beach areas for pictures as most areas are privately owned along the course. Refreshments provided include water, gatorade, juice boxes, chips, fruit snacks, bananas, and an assortment of cookies at the finish. There will be an aid station at the turn around with water and gatorade.

    Do not miss out on this once in a lifetime event. We hope to see you there!
