Prepare for an exhilarating challenge at the ForeShore Adventure Run, returning for its eleventh year to the stunning Pere Marquette Beach in Muskegon, MI, on May 16, 2026. This premier 5K adventure run isn't just about conquering obstacles; it's about making a profound impact, as 100% of the proceeds directly benefit the Muskegon Rescue Mission's food pantry and homeless shelters. Runners can choose between individual competitive or fun run categories, with team options also available, ensuring an inclusive atmosphere for all skill levels.

The 5K course transforms the scenic Lake Michigan shoreline into an dynamic playground, featuring over 20 unique obstacles designed to test your grit. Runners will navigate through soft, wet sand, tackle excavated sand dunes, scale climbing walls, crawl through various challenges, and splash through water features. With breathtaking views of Lake Michigan accompanying you every step of the way, the picturesque scenery offers a welcome distraction from the physical demands of the course, which includes sections of concrete and sand grass for brief respites from the deep sand.

Typical race day conditions in mid-May offer comfortable temperatures, with highs around 69°F and lows around 48°F, along with a minimal 15% chance of precipitation. This makes for ideal weather to embrace the challenge and the inevitably wet and sandy course. All participants receive a chip-timed race, a stylish short-sleeved, moisture-wicking t-shirt, and a well-deserved completion medal, making the ForeShore Adventure Run a rewarding experience that combines physical challenge with heartfelt community support.
