Jennathon 5K

Lace up for a race that truly makes a difference at the Jennathon 5K, celebrating its 11th annual running on Saturday, June 6, 2026, in Troy, Michigan. This chip-timed 5K run offers participants a scenic route through the City of Troy, culminating with an exciting finish on the Troy High School track. Beyond the personal challenge, every stride supports the Jenna Kast Believe in Miracles Foundation, with 100% of proceeds dedicated to granting wishes for Michigan children facing life-threatening illnesses, making this a truly unique and heartwarming event.

Starting promptly at 9:00 AM from Troy High School, runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with comfortable highs around 76F and lows around 56F, accompanied by a low 14% chance of precipitation. The event fosters a vibrant community atmosphere, featuring post-race festivities including music, delicious pancakes generously provided by the Knights of Columbus, and opportunities to win prizes across seven age categories, as well as awards for overall male and female winners. Participants who register early are guaranteed an exclusive Jennathon dri-fit shirt.

Join fellow runners and walkers for an inspiring day of fitness and philanthropy. Packet pickup will be available the day before, Friday, June 5th, from 4-7 PM at Troy High School's main entrance off Northfield Parkway, ensuring a smooth start to your race weekend. The Jennathon 5K isn't just a race; it's a cherished community tradition focused on hope, courage, and making miracles happen for children.
