The DXA2 Run (Dexter-Ann Arbor Run) is one of Michigan’s most storied and scenic road races, a community tradition that has been “Running the River” since 1974. Organized by the Ann Arbor Track Club, the event is anchored by its signature point-to-point Half Marathon, which takes runners on a picturesque journey from the quaint town of Dexter through the winding, tree-lined backwoods of Huron River Drive, finishing in the heart of historic Downtown Ann Arbor. Alongside the half marathon, the weekend features a 10K, a 5K run/walk, and a dedicated Kids Run, offering a distance for every athlete from elite competitors to families and first-timers.

With its scenic rolling hills, vibrant finish-line atmosphere, and commitment to supporting local nonprofits, DXA2 is more than just a race—it is a celebration of the spirit and natural beauty of Southeast Michigan.
