Toes in the Grand 5K & Fun Run

Lace up for the inaugural Toes in the Grand 5K & Fun Run, set to take place on Saturday, June 13, 2026, in the picturesque lakeside town of Grove, Oklahoma. This exciting event features both a 5K race and a 1-mile Fun Run/Walk, offering an inclusive experience for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities. The race is proudly hosted at the scenic Wolf Creek Park & Boating Facility, located at 2530 South Main Street, with all proceeds directly benefiting the Grand Lake Family YMCA Annual Campaign, supporting vital community programs.

Runners can anticipate a refreshing start at 8:00 AM, enjoying the beautiful surroundings of Wolf Creek Park and the gorgeous Grand Lake O' the Cherokees. Typical race day conditions in mid-June for Grove, OK, usually bring highs around 88°F and lows near 67°F, with a 16% chance of precipitation, creating a warm summer atmosphere perfect for an early morning race. The event promises a lively atmosphere, as it runs concurrently with the broader City of Grove's "Toes in the Grand Festival," providing a backdrop of vibrant community celebration.

What truly makes the Toes in the Grand 5K & Fun Run unique is its integration into the larger Toes in the Grand Festival, an annual summer kickoff featuring live music, a carnival, a car, truck, and bike show, and exhilarating hydroplane boat races on Grand Lake. Participants of the 5K will receive a commemorative T-shirt, and packet pickup conveniently begins on race day at 7:00 AM at the Pavilion on the North End of the Boat Ramp area, ensuring a smooth start to a memorable morning of fitness and fun.
