Lace up for a refreshing 5K experience at the ITC Community Sports parkrun on February 14, 2026, nestled in Novi, MI. This free, fun, and friendly weekly event welcomes runners, joggers, and walkers of all paces to enjoy a vibrant community atmosphere. Typical race day conditions in mid-February include highs around 32°F and lows near 15°F, with a low 9% chance of precipitation, creating a crisp winter running environment.

The course itself offers a straightforward yet scenic out-and-back route, entirely along a paved asphalt path within ITC Community Sports Park. Starting near the pavilion, the path winds roughly northwest, taking participants through trees and alongside rolling fields before reaching a turnaround point just past a charming wooden bridge. The finishing stretch guides participants onto a grass section, where friendly volunteers are typically waiting to cheer them across the line. While formal aid stations are not standard for this community 5K, the park offers restrooms (though availability in February may vary) and ample parking near the pavilion.

What truly sets ITC Community Sports parkrun apart is its inclusive, volunteer-led spirit. Participants consistently praise the event for its welcoming and well-organized nature, with many staying to cheer on fellow finishers. This strong sense of community extends beyond the finish line, as many gather weekly for a post-parkrun coffee at Novi Coffee and Tea, fostering connections and camaraderie. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply seeking an enjoyable Saturday morning activity, this parkrun offers a fantastic opportunity to engage with the local running scene.
