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.

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.
