Lace up your shoes for the Run United 5K on Sunday, May 3, 2026, a cherished community event held at the picturesque East China Township Park in East China, MI. This family-oriented 5K run, alongside a 1-mile walk, offers a vibrant opportunity to support the United Way of St. Clair County. Runners and walkers will embark on a scenic journey through the park's well-maintained wooded nature trails and expansive open spaces, including a segment of the renowned Bridge-to-Bay bike trail. The course features only a slight slope, providing an engaging experience amidst the natural beauty without significant elevation challenges.
Known for its consistently exuberant atmosphere, Run United draws participants of all ages and abilities, fostering a strong sense of camaraderie and good vibes. The event kicks off at 11:30 AM, with refreshing water available to all participants, and culminates in a recognition ceremony at 12:30 PM where first-place medals are awarded across various age groups. Typical race day conditions in early May often bring comfortable highs around 63°F and lows around 44°F, with a modest 15% chance of precipitation, making for ideal running weather. Beyond the race itself, all participants can look forward to receiving delicious donuts and a swag bag to commemorate their achievement. With its focus on community support and a welcoming environment, Run United is more than just a race; it's a chance to connect, celebrate fitness, and contribute to a vital local cause.
