Lace up for the annual Super 5K, set to take place on Sunday, February 8, 2026, in Novi, Michigan. This beloved 5K road race, starting and finishing at Novi High School (24062 Taft Rd), invites runners to kick off Super Sunday with an energizing 3.1-mile journey. What makes this event truly special is the "game day atmosphere" that permeates the morning, coupled with the unique perk of being able to wait inside the Novi High School atrium to stay warm and dry before the 8:30 AM start.

The course itself is an accurate, paved, and mostly flat route winding through the picturesque Dunbarton Pines subdivision. Runners can expect a smooth experience, with one aid station providing water along the way to keep you hydrated. While typical race day conditions for early February in Novi often see highs around 31F and lows near 14F with a 9% chance of precipitation, the organizers are prepared for various weather scenarios, and past participants have noted dry and cool conditions in favorable years.

Beyond the run, the Super 5K is renowned for its festive post-race tailgate party, complete with "delicious tailgate treats" for all finishers, who also receive a custom medal. The event fosters a strong sense of community and fun, featuring team competitions for the "Super Spirit Award" for the most enthusiastic group, and the "Super Speed Award" for the fastest team. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply looking to enjoy a vibrant community race, the Super 5K offers a memorable start to your Super Sunday.
