From the Organizer
Continue a great Father's Day tradition or start a new one! Join us for the Run A Muck on Sunday June 21, 2026 at Scholl Farms in Montague Michigan
This unique running event is set on a private organic farm in Montague Michigan just 3 miles from Lake Michigan. Challenge yourself and your family on a real farm-style 5k cross country course. You may feel like crushing it and getting dirty or moving at a more relaxed pace to take in the natural beauty that surrounds you. Either way, this is YOUR event to reconnect with nature and loved ones.
This is a real working farm and the course winds through beautiful wooded trails and fields. The 5K terrain is mostly flat but includes water/mud jumps, hay bales, logs, and more. The 10K course completes the 5K course before heading out to a second half that will include additional hills and more technical terrain.
**This event is dog friendly and includes a Dog Division for our canine competitors.

About This Sport
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The 10K is the distance where running stops feeling like a starting point and starts feeling like a sport. Long enough to require a real training block. Short enough that race day is fully manageable for a first-timer who's put in the work.
Race day energy at a 10K is community at its best — strangers cheering you by name, people moving toward the same goal, an atmosphere that solo training can't replicate. It's fast enough that you'll spend the whole race pushing rather than managing your effort.
This is also the distance that builds the base for everything else. Most athletes who go on to run half marathons, do triathlons, or compete in HYROX started here. What you need: running shoes fitted to your stride, a training plan, and the race on your calendar. The registration is what makes the deadline real.
How long to train: 4–8 weeks for most fitness levels.
Running
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.
