Dylan Lewis Memorial Foundation Pineapple Run

Lace up your running shoes for the 4th Annual Dylan Lewis Memorial Foundation Pineapple Run, taking place on Saturday, June 27, 2026, in the charming downtown of Ida, Michigan. This beloved 5K event celebrates the vibrant spirit of Dylan "Sweets Strong" Lewis on what would be his birthday, honoring his memory and contributing to scholarship funds in his name. Runners will enjoy a fast, flat, and picturesque course that winds through Ida, offering a beautiful backdrop to your race day efforts.

Starting bright and early at 8:00 AM EDT from Ida Firemen's Park, the race aims to beat the summer heat, with typical race day conditions seeing highs around 83F and lows around 61F, and a 16% chance of precipitation. This event is known for its joyful atmosphere, complete with professional chip timing by A2 Race Management and awards for overall male and female winners, as well as top finishers in various age groups. What truly sets this race apart are the playful nods to Dylan's favorite TV show, "Psych," with "lots of hidden pineapples" scattered along the course, adding a unique and fun element to your run.
