Nathan Memorial 5k

The event is the Nathan Memorial 5k. It takes place on Saturday, April 18, 2026. The location is 3142 4 Mile Rd NE, Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Participants can choose between a 5k Orchard Trail Run/Walk and a 1 Mile Walk. Both events start at the same time and have the same registration fee. Top female and male finishers for the 5k will receive awards.

The event is an inclusive, non-chipped trail run/walk. The 5k course goes through the apple orchards at Robinette's. The terrain may be soft or muddy, as it is spring in Michigan. The 1-mile walk follows a firmer, established path and is recommended for those with strollers or wagons.

The event is a charity fundraiser. It began to honor the legacy of Nathan Syrek. The proceeds from this edition will support the Seewald family. On-site activities for families include kids' activities, raffle items, and food available for purchase. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
