Big Brothers Big Sisters Miles for Mentorship 2026

Miles for Mentorship is a 5K walk or run at Hawk Island, starting and finishing at the Red Tail Shelter. This is the sixth annual edition and it supports Big Brothers Big Sisters Michigan Capital Region, with proceeds funding one-to-one mentoring relationships for local youth. The 5K follows an out-and-back course and is chip timed by the Michigan Running Foundation, with results posted during the race and online. Children age 12 and under can participate in the free Spooky Sprint Kids Run, where Halloween costumes are encouraged and every finisher receives a treat bag and medal. A virtual 5K option is also available for those who wish to support the event without attending in person at Hawk Island.
