1/2 MARATHON 5k Family Friendly Pet Friendly

The Brückeläufe Half Marathon and 5K takes place on Saturday, Oct. 6, in beautiful downtown Frankenmuth. Brückeläufe means "bridge race" in German, as the winding 13.1-mile course takes runners over 13 historic bridges, like the wooden Holze Brucke and iron trestle Black Bridge, and past picturesque sights of German architecture that makes Frankenmuth "Michigan's Little Bavaria."

The half marathon distance is an ideal prep race for any marathon, and the Brückeläufe itself is a USATF-certified event that begins and ends in Heritage Park in downtown Frankenmuth.

Registration is $35 for the 5K walk/run and $50 for the half marathon run/walk. Onsite registration the night before or day of the race is $60 for the half marathon run/walk or $45 for the 5K run/walk.

All proceeds are donated to charitable causes; this race is organized by the Frankenmuth Jaycees.

The Brückeläufe is part of the Frankenmuth Jaycee Race Series, which also includes Winterläufe and Volksläufe. Runners who participate in all 3 races are awarded a specially-designed finisher's medallion at this year's Brückeläufe Awards Ceremony.
