2025 SQUIRT GUN RUN WAS GREAT AND WE'RE EXCITED TO RETURN TO DEWITT ON 7/24/26!
The eighth annual Fostering Fun Squirt Gun 5K Run is scheduled for Friday, July 24th at 7 pm! Our Squirt Gun Run is unlike any other in Michigan. All pre-registered participants will receive a t shirt and a squirt gun with their entry. This year we are returning to the beautiful Saint Francis Retreat Center in Dewitt. The fantastic, course will include water squirter refill stations and surprise squirters. The result is a cool fun way to spend a Friday night. This event is sure to be the talk of the town and benefits a great cause: Love in Deed. This 5K is a non competitive fun run. It is not chip timed and there are no place awards. Enjoy music and friends before and after the event. All ages are welcome.
