Lace up for an unforgettable experience at the Mill Creek Days 5k/10k, Presented by Comstock Park Body Shop, returning on Saturday, August 8, 2026, to the charming community of Comstock Park, MI. This vibrant event offers a delightful blend of fitness and community spirit, featuring distances for every runner, including a 15K, 10K, 5K, and a 1K Kids K. Runners will embark on a refreshed course layout that begins behind Vitales Sports Bar, utilizing the scenic White Pine Trail.

Prepare for a fast and flat race on a fully paved path, celebrated for its minimal road crossings and ideal conditions for setting a new personal record. As you head north along the White Pine Trail, you'll be treated to tree-lined stretches and tranquil, shaded sections, alongside picturesque views of Mill Creek, LMCU Ball Park, and the Grand River. The 5K route circles the LMCU Ballpark, while the 10K extends further with a loop before rejoining the main path. The race culminates in the beautiful Dwight Lydell Park, a beloved community hub that transforms into a lively post-race celebration area with cheering spectators.

Typical race day conditions in early August bring highs around 82°F and lows around 60°F, with a low 13% chance of precipitation, creating a pleasant environment for your run. With its welcoming, small-town race atmosphere and a course designed for both competitive runners and casual walkers, the Mill Creek Days race is more than just a run; it's a chance to engage with the community and enjoy a healthy, active day. Limited parking is available at Dwight Lydell Park, with additional parking at Mill Creek Middle School.
