Bridgman 5K Run/Walk, 10K Run, & 1.1 Mile Fun Run

Lace up for a cherished community tradition at the Bridgman 5K Run/Walk, 10K Run, & 1.1 Mile Fun Run, set to take place on Saturday, July 11, 2026, in the charming town of Bridgman, Michigan. Celebrating its 31st year, this event is more than just a race; it's a vital fundraiser for the Bridgman Cross Country and Track & Field Teams, deeply woven into the fabric of the local community. Runners can choose their challenge from a 10K run, a 5K run/walk, or the untimed 1.1 Mile Fun Run, specifically designed for elementary-aged participants but open to all who wish to join.

The races kick off and conclude at Bridgman High School, located at 9964 Gast Rd, serving as the central hub for race day activities. As you navigate the course, volunteers will be on hand at water tables to keep you refreshed and hydrated. Typical race day conditions in early July include comfortable highs around 82°F and lows around 62°F, with a minimal 12% chance of precipitation, providing pleasant weather for a summer run.

Beyond the competition, the Bridgman 5K/10K is an integral part of the broader "Celebrate Bridgman" festivities, which feature a parade through downtown, an artisan market, and a lively street dance with live music and local vendors. This event offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in local spirit, enjoy a well-organized race, and support young athletes, all within a vibrant community celebration.
