Okemos Wolf Run and Walk
The Okemos Wolf Run and Walk is scheduled for August 29, 2026, at Okemos High School, 2800 Jolly Rd, Okemos, MI. The event offers multiple community races and stadium activities managed by the district mascot program organization P.A.W.S.
Distances and event formats include:
- 5K
- 100 m Kids Sprint
- 1600 m Family Mile
- Roll and Stroll (road-based family event)
The 5K starts and finishes at the Okemos High School athletic stadium and is run on a course of closed roads, trails, and sidewalks; the full 5K consists of two loops. The Michigan Running Foundation provides official timing for the 5K. Several events include a guaranteed event t-shirt and participation medal for registrations made in early to mid August; specific deadlines vary by event.
Registration fees vary by event and by registration period, with early, regular, late, and race-day pricing listed by the organizer. Additional activities at the stadium include bounce houses, music, cheer and dance team performances, school spirit appearances, shopping, and a free Mascot Trot grand finale featuring local mascots in a 50-yard dash.
Proceeds support P.A.W.S. and the district mascot program. The Wolf Run Impact Grants designate $500 to each of three school groups with the potential to double to $1000 if a registration goal is met. Funds support costume maintenance, student leadership, community outreach, and school spirit initiatives. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
