Campfire 5K (1M-5K) - Sep 26, 2026 | Almont, MI

Lace up your shoes for the second annual Campfire 5K, set to ignite the trails of Almont, Michigan, on Saturday, September 26, 2026! This unique event invites runners, walkers, and outdoor enthusiasts to explore the picturesque 200-acre Camp Skyline, a natural gem boasting the highest point in Lapeer County. The courses for both the 5K and 1-mile distances wind through scenic wooded trails, open fields, and private dirt roads, ensuring a refreshing escape from urban routes. Be prepared for an engaging challenge, as the routes feature steep inclines and declines, along with natural obstructions like rocks and roots. While strollers and wheelchairs are welcome at your own risk, furry friends will need to stay home.

The Campfire 5K offers a distinctly warm and welcoming atmosphere, living up to its name with several blazing campfires along the route, culminating in delicious s'mores available at the final campfire. This community-focused event is more than just a race; it's a vital fundraiser supporting Camp Skyline's mission to provide financial aid, ensuring "Camp Possible" for many children. Participants can look forward to a professionally chip-timed experience, complete with unique finisher's medals and a race t-shirt (guaranteed if registered by September 22). Typical race day conditions in late September offer comfortable highs around 70F and lows near 50F, with only a 13% chance of precipitation, perfect for enjoying the autumn air.

Packet pickup begins at 8:15 a.m., with the 5K race starting at 9:00 a.m., followed by the 1-mile race at 9:10 a.m.. After crossing the finish line, celebrate your achievement with post-race water, bananas, and the much-anticipated s'mores. For those seeking more, Sunrise Susie's Coffee Company will be on-site with beverages for purchase, and Camp Skyline's kitchen will offer additional treats. Awards will be presented to the top male and female finishers in the 5K (1st, 2nd, and 3rd place) and the 1-mile race (1st place). Join fellow runners for a memorable day of community spirit and athletic achievement amidst the beauty of Camp Skyline.
