ITC Community Sports parkrun

Embark on a refreshing 5K journey at the ITC Community Sports parkrun on March 21, 2026, nestled in the vibrant community of Novi, MI. This free, fun, and friendly weekly event welcomes runners, joggers, and walkers of all abilities to gather for a timed 5K. Participants can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 47°F and lows near 26°F, with a minimal 11% chance of precipitation, creating a brisk and invigorating start to your Saturday morning.

The inviting out-and-back course at ITC Community Sports Park promises a scenic experience. Starting conveniently near the pavilion, the route unfolds along a paved asphalt path, gently winding through trees and alongside rolling fields. Runners will proceed approximately 2.5 kilometers northwest, reaching a turnaround point just after a charming wooden bridge, before returning to the start/finish. While primarily on permanent paths, some sections may offer a touch of natural variation with puddles or leaves after rain. The finish guides you onto a grassy area, where friendly volunteers are always ready to cheer every participant across the line.

More than just a run, the ITC Community Sports parkrun fosters a truly supportive and welcoming atmosphere, entirely organized by dedicated volunteers. It's a fantastic opportunity to achieve a personal best, enjoy a leisurely walk, or simply connect with the local running community. Many participants highlight the friendly environment and the encouragement from fellow parkrunners and volunteers. After completing the course, the camaraderie continues with a cherished post-parkrun coffee tradition at Novi Coffee and Tea, providing a perfect chance to socialize and celebrate your accomplishment.
