The Youth Haven Miles for Smiles is a running event held at a camp for disadvantaged children located in Rives Junction, Michigan. Situated between Lansing and Jackson, the venue provides a natural setting for a cross country competition. The event features a flat and fast course that primarily winds through wooded areas, designed with sections that offer easy access for spectators to watch the participants.
Available distances include:
- 5 km Run
- 1 mile Kids Fun Run
Following the races, the venue hosts an annual harvest festival. This community gathering includes various outdoor activities such as hayrides, bonfires, and a petting farm. There is also a playground, a selection of children's games, and a zipline. Participants and guests can access food during the festival. Those interested in the zipline must meet specific safety requirements, which include wearing closed-toe shoes and meeting a weight requirement between 75 and 275 pounds. All festival activities are subject to weather conditions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
