Event Description

Come and enjoy running or walking through scenic Fowler, Michigan neighborhoods and on the rail trail as part of the Most Holy Trinity (MHT) church festival weekend! The 5K start and finish will be near MHT and strollers are welcome. The 5K cost includes a t-shirt (guaranteed for those registering at least 2 weeks before the race), post-race snacks, and awards which will be given out immediately following the race. Extra t-shirts are available to order for $10. All race proceeds will go to MHT. The 5K will be good for seasoned running veterans as well as casual athletes looking to get some morning exercise. Race day registration will be available.

This year we will offer a free kid's dash which will start at around 8:30 (after the 5K and before the awards ceremony). The kids dash will be about 200 meters and will finish in front of the MHT church. You do not need to register to participate in the kid's dash. Extra youth shirts and adult shirts are available to order for $10 within the normal online 5K registration process. If you would like to order shirts but are not registering for the 5K, please do so using the "Race Contact Info" section below. (You must order extra t-shirts at least 2 weeks prior to the race.)

The 5K course is slightly changed from last year (see the map below). Participants will start running north on Maple Street near Kent Street and will turn left on Blue Spruce Drive. After going through the subdivision, participants will head back to the starting area and will turn right on Kent Street. They will take the curve on Kent Street, continue down Pine Street, Clinton Street, and Henderson Street to the rail trail. After heading west down the rail trail, participants will turn back east and return on the same roads to MHT for the finish. An aid station with water will be on the course.
