Pirate Booty Dash 5K Run/Walk/FunRun 2026

The Pirate Booty Dash is an annual 5K run and walk in Napoleon, Michigan, featuring a half-mile Kids Fun Run for children 10 and under. The 5K begins in the morning and is professionally timed by the Michigan Running Foundation, suitable for runners seeking a time and for walkers participating in a school-community fundraiser. The event benefits the Napoleon Athletic Boosters. Registration offers adult, student, family, and kids options; the children’s run is complimentary for families forgoing the shirt. The course follows a rural village path through a local park, alongside pastureland, and around the perimeter of Camp Store. The Kids Fun Run starts at Ezra Eby Elementary, which also provides race-day parking. Awards recognize more than just top finishers: overall male and female winners receive trophies, Masters winners over 40 get plaques, and age-group medals are awarded from 12-and-under up to 70-and-over. Early packet pickup is at Napoleon High School, with race-day pickup available before the kids race.
