Recurring 10K races near South Bend-Mishawaka

Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

Sandhill Crane All Trail Half Marathon/10K/5K
SAT OCT 10
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.
Haunted Halloween Hustle
SAT OCT 31
The Haunted Halloween Hustle is a Halloween-themed race day held at Abshire Park in Goshen, Indiana, offering four distances: the Monster Mile, Frightening 5K, Terrible 10K, and Haunted Half Marathon. The shorter races and the half marathon begin in the morning. The Monster Mile is an untimed, lower-pressure option. This event is designed for runners and walkers seeking a fall race that incorporates costumes, rather than just a typical road event with a spooky title. Every course utilizes the Pumpkinvine Trail and follows an out-and-back format, making the route straightforward to grasp before starting. The trail is traffic-free, with police and volunteers stationed at road crossings, and portable restrooms are available along the course. All finishers will receive medals, and awards for overall and age-group winners are provided for the 5K, 10K, and half marathon. Costumes are integral to the event: participants are encouraged to dress up, costume awards span eight categories, and a Monster Mash parade typically offers an opportunity to display outfits.
Dowagiac All Trail Turkey Trot
SUN NOV 22
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.
Run Happy 50K (and other happy distances)
SAT MAY 1
This relaxed event at Potato Creek State Park Nature Center is for walkers, runners, and families. The trails are broken in, welcoming everyone from a running veteran to a first-time trail runner. The course is approximately a 10k loop. All distances are chip-timed by Watts My Time. Pets are welcome to spectate.

About 10K races in South Bend-Mishawaka

River Miles In The Bend

South Bend-Mishawaka hosts 11 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 St. Joseph River first, because the water gives every easy day a line to follow. Fleet Feet keeps the social side simple, and the anchor races give people a reason to stay sharp. Mishawaka Riverwalk Loop runs 5 miles past Battell Park, Beutter Park, Central Park, and Kamm Island Park. The route runs 5 miles through Howard Park and Governor Joseph Kernan Park. 8 miles. Sunburst Races, Foot Chase 5k/10k, and The Big Run Presented by Brooks carry the calendar.

Riders get a ton of paved hiking and biking trails, so Z2 days usually start on the river instead of random roads. Indiana + Michigan River Valley Trail stretches 17 miles from Niles, Michigan, to downtown Mishawaka, and locals can get on near Byrkit/Fir for dedicated trail miles. 5 miles. Bendix Woods has 7 miles of mountain bike trail, and Rum Village Park offers about six miles. Northwood Hills and the advanced park sections bring the climbs, tight turns, log piles, and punchy drops.

May, June, and September are the best months, because the river paths feel fast and the race calendar has real shape. Summer brings The Big Run Presented by Brooks on June 3rd, Bacon Around the Bend 5K on June 20th, 5k Color Run 2026! on June 27th, Kids Triathlon - South Bend on July 18th, Titan Takeoff 5k & 1 Mile on August 7th, and Running Wild 5K Run & 3K Scavenger Hunt Walk on August 15th. September keeps fitness honest with Foot Chase 5k/10k, Sunburst Races, and 6th Annual Jayco 5K. Winter shifts runners toward steady base miles, while cyclists lean harder on sheltered trail windows and cyclocross grit.
