Recurring 10K races near Kalamazoo-Portage
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
Yankee Springs Fall Festival
Yankee Springs Fall Festival is a trail running event held at Deep Lake Campground near Middleville, Michigan, starting and finishing within the campground. Participants can select a 10k-ish loop, a 25k loop, or a 50k composed of two 25k laps. The shortest race measures closer to seven miles than a standard 10k, indicating a preference for trail-running flexibility over road-running exactness.
The courses feature rolling single track in the Yankee Springs area. The 10k-ish loop has one aid station, while the 25k route includes four. Aid stations provide water, Gatorade, and a selection of sweet and salty snacks. Runners in the 50k may have pacers during their second lap. Camping is integrated into the event; Deep Lake provides primitive sites adjacent to the start and finish, and the nearby Gun Lake Campground offers sites with running water and electrical hookups. Race entry includes a long-sleeve tech shirt or buff. The event utilizes trails also used for the organizers' spring and winter races.
Sandhill Crane All Trail Half Marathon/10K/5K
The Sandhill Crane All Trail Half Marathon/10K/5K takes place at Dr. T. K. Lawless County Park, an 820-acre park in Vandalia, Michigan. The event features a half marathon, 10K run/walk, 5K run/walk, and a 1K kids fun run, all utilizing unpaved park trails. The half marathon is a 13.1-mile non-repeat route, ensuring runners experience new terrain throughout.
The course winds through forest and field, alongside streams and small lakes, with six bridge crossings. It is not flat, starting around 900 feet and climbing to a high point near 1,000 feet, incorporating hills into the trail running. Sandhill cranes are common in the area, inspiring the race's name and offering participants a chance to spot one. The event is limited to 500 participants, uses chip timing, and provides fruit at the finish. Finishers get custom long-sleeve performance shirts, top finishers receive laser-cut wood awards, and second and third place finishers in each age group receive medals. Proceeds benefit Dowagiac Rotary charities and Cass County Parks.
Spooky Sprint - Grand Rapids
The Spooky Sprint in Caledonia, Michigan, southeast of Grand Rapids, is a Halloween-themed running event held annually at Caledonia High School. It offers a variety of race options, including a kids dash, an untimed 1-mile run, a 5K, 10K, half marathon, and a virtual race. A unique 'Volunteer then Run' entry is also available, allowing families and runners of all distances to participate together.
The 5K, 10K, and half marathon feature chip timing, live results, awards, a custom bib, a designer shirt, and a finisher medal. The 1-mile run, though untimed, includes the main race's merchandise. The kids dash is designed for children 10 and under, providing a mini bib, youth shirt, and kids medal; children can participate in the dash without charge on race day if they forgo the swag. Finish-line treats and complimentary participant photos enhance the Halloween atmosphere, and the virtual race allows participation from any location while still receiving the shirt and medal.
Turkey Trails- Grand Rapids
The Turkey Trails- Grand Rapids is a Thanksgiving-themed running event held annually in Grand Rapids. It offers a 5K, 10K, half marathon, 1 mile, Kids Dash, and a virtual race option. The event is designed for both families and regular runners, featuring youth pricing for ages 12 and under in the 5K and 10K, and a short untimed dash for children 10 and under.
The in-person races provide chip timing, live results, and awards. The virtual option allows participants to run at their own location and still receive event merchandise. Most registrations include a custom bib, a designer shirt, and a finisher medal, with children receiving a mini bib, youth-sized shirt, and medal. Complimentary participant photos and finish-line refreshments enhance the holiday outing atmosphere.
Dowagiac All Trail Turkey Trot
The Dowagiac All Trail Turkey Trot takes place entirely on unpaved trails at Southwestern Michigan College in Dowagiac, Michigan. This November trail race offers 10K and 5K distances that begin simultaneously, along with a 1K children's run scheduled afterward. The event limits registration to 500 participants, employs chip timing with live results, and maintains a practical local-race format: tiered entry fees, finisher shirts for pre-registered runners, and timing services provided by Mac's Sports Timing.
The course follows the college's trail system at 58900 Cherry Grove Road, noting an elevation of 761 feet at its highest point. This distinguishes it as a campus-trail run rather than a road race with a minor unpaved section. Southwestern Michigan College supports the event, Ron Gunn of Cairn Stone Adventure Tours oversees its direction, and the race originated in 1967, establishing it as a long-standing Dowagiac tradition. Adults may run or walk the 5K and 10K, and the children's run provides a shorter option for younger participants, awarding ribbons.
Twisted Trail 5K, 10K, 15K and FREE 1 MILE
Twisted Trail is a Black Friday trail race held at Ken-O-Sha in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It offers 5K, 10K, 15K distances, and a free 1-mile option. All participants begin together in the morning. The longer races utilize a 5K loop: one lap for the 5K, two for the 10K, and three for the 15K. The start, finish, and packet pickup are located at Calvary Baptist Church on 28th Street SE.
The course follows hidden trails alongside Plaster Creek, featuring narrow singletrack mountain bike paths and wooden bridges instead of wide park routes. This design favors runners over strollers, particularly if snow is present. Organizers suggest leaving dogs at home because of the trail's confined nature. The free mile is available for those seeking a shorter run, while the timed races feature age groups from 9 and under to 70+, with awards for overall winners and top finishers in each age group. Registered runners receive shirts if they sign up by the guarantee deadline.
Candy Cane Course - Lansing
The Candy Cane Course in Lansing, Michigan, offers a Christmas-themed running event in December. Participants can choose from a Kids Dash, an untimed 1 Mile, or timed 5K, 10K, and 15K races. A virtual option is available for those who wish to receive the event shirt and medal without attending in person. The event begins in the morning.
The 5K, 10K, and 15K races utilize chip timing, provide live results, and include awards for overall winners, masters runners, and age groups. The Kids Dash is designed for children aged 10 and under, featuring a mini bib, youth shirt, and medal. The 1 Mile race is untimed. All finishers receive event merchandise, including a custom bib, designer shirt, and event medal. Free photos and treats are available in the finish area. Runners aged 12 and under in the 5K and 10K benefit from youth pricing, and a referral refund is offered when five individuals register using a runner's code.

About 10K races in Kalamazoo-Portage
Kalamazoo-Portage Training Notes
Kalamazoo-Portage hosts 19 10K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals run the Kalamazoo River Valley Trail when they want steady base miles, and the route spans over 22 miles while linking Kalamazoo with nearby towns. The Kal-Haven Trail is a 5-mile crushed limestone line from Kalamazoo to South Haven. Al Sabo Preserve brings over 25 miles of interconnected trails, and Asylum Lake Preserve gives trail runners approximately 274 acres where trails wind around the lake, through woodlands, and across open fields. Kalamazoo Area Runners anchors the social side. The Kalamazoo Klassic, Bronson Children's Hospital Run & Walk, Kindleberger 5k Run/Walk, and Kalamazoo Marathon keep the calendar honest.
The Kalamazoo Bicycle Club sets the tone for road miles, with Monday Nite Rides from Texas Drive Park and Wednesday Nite Rides from KalHaven Trailhead. Monday riders get VanKal at 20 miles or Lawton at 28 miles, and Wednesday riders get Bloomingdale at 44 miles or Kendall at 30 miles. The Tuesday Nite Women's Ride starts at Pedal South and uses the 25-mile Portage-Pavilion route. The Portage Bikeway gives commuters and Z2 riders more than 17 miles of shared-use trails plus over 35 miles of on-road bike lanes. Oakland Drive Hill and Maple Street Hill handle the intervals.
Summer owns the best months here, and Run Kalamazoo Move Through Summer makes the season feel relaxed and social. Groups form organically, water stops show up about every two miles, and runners can jump in for beginner 5K work, 10K work, or longer goals. Cyclists use summer for regular club rides, Ye Olde Flowerfest routes, gravel days, and steady base miles on Kal-Haven. Winter changes the rhythm, and winter Run Camp feels different from the summer setup. Locals still keep the legs moving, but runners and riders get more selective with routes, surfaces, and effort.
