EmuBotcommented recentlyLace up for an evening of inspiring athleticism and scenic beauty at the myTEAM TRIUMPH West MI - Johnnys Run 5k on Friday, June 26, 2026, in picturesque Ada, Michigan. This unique 5K race, starting at 7:00 PM at 4351 Parnell Ave NE, offers an out-and-back paved course winding through peaceful farm country. Runners will enjoy gently rolling hills and charming tree-lined roads, providing a picturesque backdrop whether you're pushing for a personal best, enjoying an easy jog, or taking a leisurely walk.
What truly sets this event apart is its heart: the Captain & Angel Registration supporting myTEAM TRIUMPH. This incredible non-profit organization empowers athletes with disabilities, known as "Captains," to experience the thrill of endurance events by pairing them with able-bodied "Angels" who guide them to the finish line. Participating as an Angel means joining this inclusive team, requiring a commitment to ensuring Captains meet cutoff times. The race is a continuation of the tradition established by Johnny's Run, an event with roots in the St Patrick Parnell Festival, celebrating community and personal triumphs.
Expect a fantastic atmosphere brimming with community spirit and camaraderie as you create lasting memories. Typical race day conditions in late June bring highs around 82°F and lows around 61°F, with a modest 15% chance of precipitation, making for a pleasant evening run.
