Port Oneida Run (5K-13.1M) - Aug 1, 2026 | Glen Arbor, MI

Lace up your shoes for an unforgettable journey through one of America's most cherished landscapes at the Port Oneida Run, set for August 1, 2026, in scenic Glen Arbor, Michigan. This exceptional event offers a Half Marathon (13.1M), 10K, and 5K, each winding through the breathtaking Port Oneida Rural Historic District within Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Typical race day conditions in early August bring pleasant highs around 80°F and lows near 63°F, with only a 9% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather to explore this "outdoor museum" of historic 1800s farms and barns nestled among rolling hills and picturesque trails alongside Lake Michigan.

The Port Oneida Run provides diverse challenges and stunning views for every runner. The Half Marathon, known as the Homesteaders Half Marathon, is a demanding course featuring a mix of dirt/grass trails, gravel roads, and pavement, including a notable steep climb up Basch Road past the Pyramid Point trailhead. For those seeking a similar thrill, the Tillers 10K offers a loop of trail running, gravel, and paved back roads, complete with its own rolling hills and the Basch Road ascent. If you prefer a faster pace, the Heritage Flat and Fast 5K provides a level route on the crushed gravel Heritage Trail, welcoming strollers and leashed dogs. Water stations are conveniently located approximately every three miles, though runners are encouraged to carry extra hydration due to the summer temperatures.

Starting and finishing at the iconic Big Red Barn at the Olsen Farm, the Port Oneida Heritage Center, this race is more than just a run; it's a vital fundraiser supporting Preserve Historic Sleeping Bear's efforts to protect the National Lakeshore. Participants consistently praise the race for its unique, scenic courses, wonderful views, and the dedicated team of volunteers, often making it an annual tradition. After crossing the finish line, celebrate your achievement with post-race festivities and perhaps a refreshing swim at the nearby Lake Michigan beaches.
