The overGRound is a free, unsanctioned marathon and marathon relay through the city of Grand Rapids whose route showcases the variety of GR’s features and neighborhoods. This is an inclusive, supportive, and free running event celebrating community and a grassroots, no frills spirit of running and free fitness. It is a co-hosted event featuring the many wonderful running and fitness communities of Grand Rapids. Together, participating clubs can invite people out to run, cheer, and support runners on the course. The public is warmly welcomed to participate.
This year's participating clubs include (so far) Lyon Street Run Club, November Project GR, Friendship Miles, Society Track Club, Village Rec Club, and No Surrender Running Club.
This year the overGRound will be held October 26, 2025 at 8am, starting and ending at Veterans Memorial Park. The [subject to updates!] carefully designed course passes the many coffee shops that host Lyon Street Run Club, a variety of neighborhoods, cityscapes, and parks, and ends by passing November Project Grand Rapids’ home of Lyon and Bostwick before returning to Veterans Memorial Park.
This is the second running of the overGRound; 2024 was the inaugural year and the first (known) marathon held fully within GR city limits.
Whether you run the marathon, organize a team to run the relay, or just show up to support the runners, let’s make it once again a fun, unique, out-in-the-open Grand Rapids event that goes beyond the norm.
