The Detroit Free Press Marathon supports both local and national charitable organizations, with impact being made in hundreds of different causes. Over the event’s 44-year history, charities have raised about $24 million. We’re excited about the 2022 program and adding new charity partners.
To get a sense of how our program works, you can view our 2021 fundraising portal here. We’ll have some updated information about 2022 soon.
If you have questions — or would like to apply to the marathon’s charity program — please contact executive race director Barbara Bennage at freepmarathoncharities@gmail.com.
