Detroit第49届马拉松周末开跑 温莎隧道周日清晨封闭四小时让道「水下英里」
位于密歇根州韦恩县的底特律市，第49届 Detroit Free Press 马拉松周末10月16日至18日在 Detroit 举行。周六（10月17日）先行登场的是5公里跑、1英里跑、儿童马拉松和 Meijer Little Detroit Dash；周日（10月18日）举行全程马拉松、国际半程马拉松、Motor City 半程马拉松和马拉松接力赛，起点设在市中心的 Fort Street 一带。
这项赛事最具标志性的一段，是选手经 Ambassador Bridge 跑进加拿大 Windsor，再从 Detroit River 河底的 Detroit-Windsor Tunnel 跑回美国——这段「水下英里」是全世界唯一一段官方的国际水下赛程，全程26.2英里中约4英里位于 Windsor 境内。隧道运营方10月15日宣布，为让道赛事，Detroit-Windsor Tunnel 将于周日清晨6时15分至上午10时15分对所有车辆关闭，其后恢复正常通行，并提醒跨境旅客预留额外时间。
大桥方面，Ambassador Bridge 周日将限制通行：大桥一侧供双向车辆行驶、另一侧供选手跑步，中间设隔离车道；今年7月通车的 Gordie Howe International Bridge 保持开放。密歇根州交通部（MDOT）公布的周末封路安排还包括：M-85（Fort Street）部分路段自周六上午起分段封闭，M-1（Woodward Avenue）周日凌晨4时至下午1时封闭，M-10（Lodge Freeway）周日上午部分封闭，I-75 通往 Ambassador Bridge 的匝道周日凌晨2时至上午9时关闭。市中心有轨电车 QLINE 周六服务缩短至 State Street，周日缩短至 Little Caesars Arena。
隧道临时首席执行官 Trevor Pearce 说：「每年10月的一个清晨，隧道不再是日常通勤路线，而成为选手们终生难忘的记忆。Detroit 与 Windsor 共饮一江水，也共享深厚的自豪感，我们很荣幸向来自世界各地的运动员和观众展示这份纽带。」
Detroit Free Press 马拉松已连续第二年被《USA TODAY》10Best 读者选择奖评为全美最佳马拉松。2025年参赛人数超过2.6万人，再创纪录；今年的赛事报名已于9月8日截止并售罄。
Detroit's 49th Marathon Weekend Is Under Way; Windsor Tunnel Closes Sunday Morning for the Underwater Mile
Detroit is a city in Wayne County, Michigan. The 49th Detroit Free Press Marathon weekend runs October 16 to 18 in Detroit. Saturday, October 17, features the 5K, the 1-Mile, the Kids Marathon and the Meijer Little Detroit Dash, while Sunday, October 18, brings the marathon, the International Half-Marathon, the Motor City Half-Marathon and the marathon relay, starting near Fort Street downtown.
The race's signature stretch sends runners across the Ambassador Bridge into Windsor, Canada, and back into the United States beneath the Detroit River through the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel — the "underwater mile," the only official underwater international mile in the world. About four miles of the 26.2-mile course lie in Windsor. The tunnel operator announced on October 15 that, to accommodate the race, the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel will close to all vehicle traffic from 6:15 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. on Sunday, with normal operations resuming at 10:15 a.m., and advised cross-border travelers to allow extra time.
On the Ambassador Bridge, traffic will be restricted on Sunday, with two-way vehicle traffic on one side, runners on the other and a buffer lane between them; the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which opened in July, will remain open. Weekend road closures published by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) also include sections of M-85 (Fort Street) closing in stages from Saturday morning, M-1 (Woodward Avenue) closed from 4 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, parts of M-10 (the Lodge Freeway) closed Sunday morning, and the I-75 ramps to the Ambassador Bridge closed from 2 a.m. to 9 a.m. Sunday. The QLINE streetcar will run shortened service on Saturday, ending at State Street, and on Sunday, ending at Little Caesars Arena.
"For one morning every October, the Tunnel stops being a daily commute and becomes a memory runners carry with them for the rest of their lives," said Trevor Pearce, interim CEO of the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel. "Detroit and Windsor share a river, and a deep sense of pride, and we're honored to help showcase that bond to athletes and spectators from around the world."
The Detroit Free Press Marathon was named the best marathon in America for the second consecutive year by the USA TODAY 10Best Readers' Choice Awards. More than 26,000 runners took part in 2025, a record, and registration for this year's race closed on September 8 after selling out.
