Mattawan Wildcat Road & Trail 5K

Mattawan Wildcat Road & Trail 5K

The Mattawan Wildcat Road & Trail 5K is scheduled for 08/01/2026 in Mattawan, Michigan at 57400 Western St. The event returns to its original setup with both the start and finish on the high school track, so the race begins and ends inside the stadium.

The course is a mix of surfaces, including dirt and grass trail sections plus some road segments. Organizers describe it as neither a pure road race nor a straight cross-country course; the route will feature natural terrain and changing rhythm. The exact route is still being finalized because of construction around campus, and a finalized course map will be posted when available.

Registration opens on 04/30/2026 and closes on 08/01/2026. The registration fee is $30.00.

Food and drinks will be available at the finish on the track. Dogs are not allowed on the course. The event is scheduled to be held rain or shine, though delays or cancellations may occur in the case of dangerous weather. No refunds will be issued. Organizers note that trail ready footwear is encouraged given the mixed surfaces. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
