Lace up your shoes for the KC 5K For Food Pantries, a cherished "town and country" event returning to Cass City, Michigan, on Saturday, August 15, 2026. This 5K timed run/walk offers a unique and diverse course that guides participants over a mix of pavement, gravel, and scenic footpaths. A particularly picturesque section of the route even takes you along a rail trail crossing the beautiful Cass River. For those seeking a less competitive outing, a one-mile exercise walk is also available, keeping participants within the charming town limits.

Beyond the appealing course, this event stands out for its heartwarming mission. Organized by the Central Thumb K of C # 8892, the KC 5K directly benefits vital local food pantries: Our Lady Consolata Parish Food Pantry at St. Agatha's in Gagetown and Revive Ministries Food Pantry in Cass City. It's a fantastic opportunity to enjoy a morning of fitness while making a tangible difference in the community. Overall best male and female runners/walkers will be recognized with special awards, and medals will be presented to the top three finishers in each age group.

Typical race day conditions in mid-August feature pleasant highs around 79F and lows around 57F, with only a 13% chance of precipitation, creating comfortable running weather. The race kicks off from the St. Pancratius Church Parking Lot at 4292 Seeger St., which also serves as the convenient hub for same-day registration and packet pickup. Join fellow runners and walkers for an engaging race experience that combines varied terrain, community spirit, and meaningful charitable support.
