RoadFull Marathon
The McKirdy Micro Marathon in Walker takes place in October 2026 on a moderately hilly road course where you'll gain about 240 meters across the full 42.2 kilometers, with elevation staying between 180 and 195 meters throughout. The relatively contained elevation band means you won't face any dramatic descents or climbs, but the consistent rolling terrain will demand steady effort rather than allowing you to coast. This is a good choice if you want hills without extreme difficulty, and the fall timing in Michigan typically offers cool, favorable running conditions.
