Will Run for Coffee 5k

The event is scheduled for 10/17/2026 in Owosso, Michigan, at Fitness Coliseum located at 210 S Water St. It features trail running and walking along the Shiawassee River Trail and a post-event gathering with music, bonfires, tables, chairs and games.

Distances offered:

  • 5k

5k participants will start at Fitness Coliseum and run a loop on the Shiawassee River Trail. A shorter 1.5 mile walk uses part of the same river trail; children, dogs and strollers are permitted. The trail includes gravel in some sections, which may affect stroller use.

All participants receive a long sleeve t-shirt, a coffee mug and either a full cup of coffee or one dollar of a specialty drink from Foster Coffee Co's mobile bar. Awards are given for first place overall male and female in the 5k and in age group categories including youth under 18 combined, 18 to 29, 30 to 49 and 50 plus for men and women.

Registration opens 8/1/2026 and closes 9/17/2026, with a registration fee of $45.00. Packet pickup is available the morning of the event starting at 7:30 am. Timing is provided by the Michigan Running Foundation and results will be available live and posted afterward. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
