Run-- Walk--Support --and have a great time!
Join us in the Family Fun in Alpena to support families and babies in need. All proceeds will directly go to Alpena's Baby Pantry and Options Pregnancy Center (OPC). This spirited event invites participants of all ages to support families and babies in need. Starting at Bay View Park, the race follows a course along the Thunder Bay River, finishing at the scenic pier past the yacht club on beautiful Lake Huron. With a distance of 5K, this is an excellent opportunity to challenge yourself while making a difference in the community.
All proceeds from the event will directly benefit Alpena's Baby Pantry and Options Pregnancy Center, providing essential ultrasound services and stocking vital supplies for families in need. Children under 10 are free. The day provides not only a race but also festive camp and cornhole games for those who don't want to walk/run. Whether you run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines, your support will make a meaningful impact. Don't miss this chance to have a great time and contribute a worthy cause!
Water and snacks provided.
Participants can earn custom race metals, and trophies will be awarded to the top finishers. 5K Custom Race Medals for the 1-20 finishers. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place trophies will be given to the winners.
