Sigue la Tormenta - Follow the Storm 5k/10k + 1 Mile Fun Run

Embrace the spirit of community and movement at the Sigue la Tormenta - Follow the Storm 5k/10k + 1 Mile Fun Run, taking place on Sunday, August 2, 2026, in the vibrant city of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Hosted by the No Surrender Running Club, this event is more than just a race; it's a celebration of inclusivity and empowerment. The No Surrender Running Club, active for over a decade, is dedicated to breaking down barriers to sport and play, fostering youth development, strengthening families, and building representation in running, particularly within communities of color. Participants will enjoy a "fast and flat" road course, beginning and ending at the Kroc Center and winding along the picturesque Plaster Creek Trail. The 5k route guides runners west, across Division Avenue to Buchanan, then back east to connect with the Plaster Creek Trail, heading south to 28th Street before returning north. The 10k course doubles this scenic and accessible route.

Whether you choose the challenging 10K, the popular 5K, or the enjoyable 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk, every participant will receive a finisher medal, with special awards for top male and female finishers across both competitive distances and age groups. Typical race day conditions in early August in Grand Rapids feature comfortable highs around 83°F and lows around 61°F, with only a 13% chance of precipitation, creating a favorable environment for personal bests or a leisurely stroll. The start/finish area is conveniently located near the restrooms by the Alger lot at the Kroc Center, with ample parking available in the Alger lot or on nearby streets. Join this unique event, "the only race in 49507," and be part of a day focused on unity, representation, and the joy of movement for all.
