The Escanaba Fall Classic 5K Run/Walk, scheduled for Saturday, September 19th, 2026, will be run on a fast/scenic course, showcasing Escanaba, MI in September! All Fall Classic 5K finishers will receive a shirt and medal, with overall and age-group awards. We have a lot of fun planned!

🚨 IMPORTANT EVENT UPDATE 🚨
Due to course safety concerns, the 2026 Escanaba Half Marathon has been canceled.
This was an incredibly difficult decision, and we're just as disappointed as you are. After extensive discussions and careful evaluation, we ultimately felt that the current course could not provide the safe race experience our participants deserve.
While we're saddened that we won't be lining up for the half marathon this year, we're already hard at work exploring a new course and hope to bring the event back stronger than ever in 2027.
Come run with us...and enjoy the food, music and F U N!
