Run for Recovery 2025 Marquette & Sault Ste. Marie

Lace up for the inspiring Run for Recovery 2025 Marquette & Sault Ste. Marie, a community-focused 5K event taking place in Marquette, MI, on September 9, 2026. This popular fun run and walk kicks off from the Northern Michigan Superior Dome at 1400 Presque Isle Ave. Participants will enjoy a scenic course that covers the beautiful Lake Superior shoreline, heading south, promising picturesque views as you run or walk.

More than just a race, the Run for Recovery is an uplifting celebration of resilience and community, dedicated to supporting the Great Lakes Recovery Center's Foundation's Compassionate Care Fund. This event plays a crucial role in raising funds for individuals who cannot afford GLRC services and works to combat the stigma surrounding recovery. Runners can expect at least one water station at the turnaround point to stay hydrated.

As the 18th (or 19th, depending on counting) annual iteration, this event has built a reputation for its positive atmosphere and camaraderie. Typical race day conditions in Marquette during early September offer pleasant weather, with highs around 70F and lows around 54F, accompanied by a low 14% chance of precipitation. Racers also receive a t-shirt and water bottle with their registration, and have the opportunity to win prizes, making it a memorable experience for all involved.
