Rusty Fish Marathon

The Rusty Fish Marathon, scheduled for October 4, 2025, in Manistee, MI, is an adventurous mixed-surface race that challenges participants with a combination of pavement, dirt roads, and sand. This self-supported marathon features only one aid station, emphasizing the need for runners to manage their hydration and nutrition independently. Participants receive a Rusty Fish swag item, and awards are given to the top three finishers.

The event concludes with a post-race meal and adult beverages for those of age, fostering camaraderie among participants. This unique race promises to test both physical endurance and mental resilience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
