From the Organizer
Join us for a 5K fun Trail Run/Walk through the Beautiful Cross Country Ski Headquarters in Roscommon Michigan!
We also have a 1 Mile Kids Fun Run which will start following the 5K finish, around 11 AM. (Parents are welcome to run/walk with their children!)
Both races include t-shirt (while supplies last), post-race snacks, hot dog lunch and refreshments (non-runners can purchase a hot dog lunch separate).
Proceeds will go to The Sundrop School to directly fund student scholarships for the 2026-2027 school year.
This is a fun run. The 5K will be hand timed with results available later in the day. Prizes awarded to overall and age group winners. The kids 1 mile will not be timed.
Same day registration begins at 8:15AM and ends sharply at 9:30AM. Check in for registered runners starts at 9AM.

From Endurance Grid
This race spans more than one sport — here’s a guide to each, so you can understand what’s involved and decide if it’s the right fit. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer’s event page.
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
Running off-road — dirt, singletrack, and mountain paths — from 5Ks to ultras. The terrain, not the pace, is the whole point.
