The Detroit Free Press/TCF Bank Marathon supports local charitable organizations centered on health and wellness. In 2019, over 40 charities raised more than $2.2 million towards those causes.

This year we are thrilled to announce that our participants have the opportunity to make a big difference to an amazing cause through fundraising. Join the thousands of runners who chose to run for a reason and create your own fundraising project for a charity today. Or simply make a donation here.
