Lace up your shoes for the ITC Community Sports parkrun, a vibrant weekly 5K event set in Novi, Michigan. On June 20, 2026, runners, joggers, and walkers will gather at the ITC Community Sports Park for this free, fun, and friendly community experience. Typical race day conditions in late June bring comfortable highs around 80°F and lows near 57°F, with a minimal 14% chance of precipitation, creating ideal conditions for a morning outing.

The course itself is an inviting out-and-back route, spanning a paved asphalt path that gently zigs and zags through trees and alongside rolling fields. Starting conveniently near the pavilion, participants will proceed roughly 2.5 kilometers northwest, reaching a turnaround point just after a scenic wooden bridge, before returning to the start/finish. While primarily on permanent paths, some sections may hold a few puddles or leaves after rain, adding a touch of natural variation. The finishing stretch guides you onto a grassy area, where friendly volunteers eagerly await to cheer every participant across the line.

More than just a timed 5K, the ITC Community Sports parkrun embodies a supportive atmosphere. It's entirely volunteer-organized and renowned for its welcoming community, where participants of all ages and abilities are encouraged to join—whether you're aiming for a personal best, enjoying a leisurely walk, or pushing a stroller. After completing the course, the camaraderie continues with a cherished post-parkrun coffee tradition at Novi Coffee and Tea, offering a perfect opportunity to connect with fellow parkrunners and celebrate your Saturday morning accomplishment.
