The 6th Annual Flannel 5K & 1-Mile Run is heading back to Beutter Park, taking runners and walkers along the beautiful Riverwalk in Mishawaka, Indiana! Choose between a 1-mile run, starting at 8:45 AM, or the 5K, kicking off at 9:05 AM.
Packet pickup will be available:
This is a chip-timed event, and all participants will receive a finisher medal. Awards will be given to the top male and female finishers in both the 1-mile and 5K races. Event shirts will be available for purchase at the race store while supplies last—once they’re gone, they’re gone, so don’t wait!
And of course… don’t forget to wear your flannel!
We will continue to proudly partner with the South Bend Center for the Homeless by collecting new or gently used coats, hats, and gloves at Fleet Feet Mishawaka from December 1st - December 11th, or at Chicory Café during the race on December 12th.
