Courses de 5K près de Lapeer

Le 5K On The RUNway te propose de courir ou marcher directement sur la piste d'atterrissage de Bishop International Airport à Flint, Michigan. Attends-toi à un 5K plat et rapide, un samedi matin début octobre. L'événement principal prévoit des départs séparés pour la course et la marche, et les enfants ont leur propre Little Pilots Run juste avant le départ du 5K principal. Le fait que ce soit à l'aéroport, ça influence un peu la logistique de la journée : tu devras te garer au Genesee Career Institute, passer la sécurité avec ton dossard ou un pass spectateur, puis prendre une navette MTA pour te rendre sur le site de l'aéroport. Pour les spectateurs, un pass gratuit à prendre en avance est obligatoire. Pas d'inscription de dernière minute possible, les sacs doivent être transparents, et l'eau n'est fournie qu'à l'arrivée. Après la course, des navettes te ramèneront au Genesee Career Institute pour du cidre, des donuts et de quoi manger après l'effort. L'événement est organisé par la Crim Fitness Foundation, qui met en relation la course à pied locale avec une association de fitness à but caritatif.

The St. Patrick Pierogi Run is a 5k run/walk based at St. Patrick Parish in White Lake, Michigan. The main event starts and finishes at the parish on Hutchins Road. A 1-mile Pierogi Family Fun Run/Walk is available for those seeking a shorter, easier option. The race emphasizes the post-run meal alongside the running. Participants receive pierogi and smoked kielbasa after the race, with lunch served in Patty Hall. Spectators may purchase additional meal tickets for family and friends. Early registration for the 5k and 1-mile events includes the meal and a T-shirt. A meal-only option is also offered for those who wish to attend the parish lunch without participating in the run.

Scare Away Hunger is a 5K run/walk and a 1-mile fun run/walk held on October 5th at Rochester Municipal Park in Rochester, Michigan. Neighborhood House organizes this event to raise funds to combat local food insecurity, with MSU Federal Credit Union serving as the presenting sponsor. The event is designed to be family-friendly, offering the 5K for runners and walkers, and a 1-mile course suitable for children, families, and casual participants. The course is contained within Rochester Municipal Park. The 5K is open to participants of all skill levels, not exclusively fast racers. Halloween is incorporated into the day, with costumes encouraged. Following the run/walk, participants can enjoy music and a Pancake Breakfast. The funds generated will benefit Neighborhood House, a Rochester Hills nonprofit that assists over 3,000 households annually with food, clothing, financial aid, and other support.

The Clio Can Do Color Run is a 5K run/walk held at Clio Country Club in Clio, Michigan, beginning at 10:00 AM. This family-friendly event takes place on the golf course, featuring three color stations along the route. Participants can choose between a standard or economy entry. The course utilizes the Clio Country Club fairways, allowing participants to run or walk on the grass or cart paths. The route includes rolling hills and tree-lined sections, differing from a flat road 5K. This race marks the third and final event in the Clio Can Do Series of Races. Proceeds benefit the Clio Cross Country Team, the Youth Sports Complex, the Compassionate Life Foundation, and the Freedom 4 Veterans project. A health fair with sponsor donations is available at the finish area, and early registrants will receive a medal and race T-shirt.

The Pumpkin Glow Run is an evening fall race at Spicer Orchards. Runners start as the sun sets, with the orchard illuminated for a Halloween-season night. The main event is a chip-timed 5K offering live results, overall and age-group awards, free race photos, a race bib, a Dri-Fit shirt, and a finisher medal. A Kids Fun Run is also available, along with a virtual option for those who wish to have the shirt, medal, and bib mailed to them. The course is contained within the orchard, emphasizing a harvest-themed run after dark over a fast city route. Each in-person runner receives a small pumpkin and sweet cider upon finishing, contributing to the event's distinct Spicer Orchards character rather than a generic Halloween 5K. The event accommodates families, casual runners, children, and award-seekers by combining a timed race with simple fall amenities.

Miles 4 Meals includes a 5K run, a 5K walk, and a Kids 1K Fun Run taking place at Water's Edge Park in Corpus Christi. This is the event's 17th year. The children's race starts first, then the 5K run, and finally the 5K walk occurs in the early evening. The 5K course is certified by USA Track & Field, meaning official times are recorded for rankings and can be submitted afterward. Packet pickup is available at the Coastal Bend Food Bank prior to the event. On race day, pickup is at the park, and an awards ceremony concludes the races.

The Oceana County Vet Day 5K is an annual 5K run in Downtown Shelby, Michigan, held on the second Saturday of November. It starts and finishes at the newly renovated Getty Park, and the Oceana County Department of Veteran's Affairs organizes the race as its main fundraiser. The route heads north on Industrial Drive, then loops back south on the Hart-Montague Trail. All proceeds stay in Oceana County to help local veterans with needs such as rides to medical appointments, food pantry support, and other assistance. Same-day registration is available, and runners are asked to arrive at least 30 minutes before the start.
