Orthopaedic Rehab Specialists Oktoberfest 10K/5K, Kids Superhero Run

Lace up for an unforgettable autumn run at the Orthopaedic Rehab Specialists Oktoberfest 10K/5K, Kids Superhero Run on Saturday, October 3, 2026, in Jackson, MI. This vibrant event, kicking off from Consumers Plaza with convenient parking, offers participants the choice of a 6.2-mile (10K) or 3.1-mile (5K) challenge. The course promises an engaging route, having "combined the best parts of past courses into one amazing route", ensuring an enjoyable experience through bustling city routes or potentially scenic areas, typical of the acclaimed ORS Race Series. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with comfortable highs around 67°F and lows near 46°F, and only a 13% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

Beyond the exhilarating race, this event is a true community celebration. Young heroes aged 10 and under can join the fan-favorite Kids Superhero Run, with costumes enthusiastically encouraged for both children and accompanying adults. Post-race, 5K and 10K participants will receive a $10 gift certificate to explore downtown Jackson businesses, fostering community support and offering a personalized post-race adventure instead of a catered meal. Kids will also be delighted with a free scoop of ice cream from RJ's Burgers & Ice Cream. Your participation also supports a meaningful cause, as the 2026 race proudly backs the Greater Jackson Habitat for Humanity – Garrett Family Fundraiser.
