Wheel Run For Everyone 5K

Lace up for a cause at the Wheel Run For Everyone 5K, a vibrant and inclusive event taking place on Saturday, April 11, 2026, in Allendale, MI. Hosted at the picturesque Grand Valley State University (GVSU) Allendale Campus, this 3.1-mile race welcomes participants of all abilities to walk, roll, jog, or wheel through a course known for its beautiful scenery. The start and finish lines are conveniently located just outside the Kirkhof Center, creating a central hub for race day excitement. Typical race day conditions in April offer pleasant highs around 55°F and lows around 36°F, with a modest 16% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for a memorable run.

Organized with dedication by GVSU's Doctorate in Physical Therapy students, the Wheel Run For Everyone 5K champions the vital work of Renew Mobility (formerly Alternatives in Motion). Every stride taken and every dollar raised directly supports this non-profit's efforts to enhance independence by providing essential mobility equipment to individuals with disabilities in the West Michigan area.

Packet pickup, including bibs and t-shirts, will be available at the Clocktower from 8:00 AM, with the race officially kicking off at 9:00 AM.
