About the Event

Join us for the Run for the Buds 5K, where every stride supports Michigan’s largest and oldest multi-community festival—a cherished tradition in Southwest Michigan for over a century! This vibrant event isn’t just a race; it’s a way to honor our region’s rich agricultural heritage, bring communities together, and ensure the magic of the Grand Floral Parade continues to bloom for generations to come.

As you race through the scenic course, you’ll be running alongside history, culture, and the spirit of unity that makes the Blossomtime Festival so special. Proceeds directly contribute to keeping this beloved tradition alive, supporting the parade a cornerstone of Southwest Michigan’s identity.

Lace up your running shoes, embrace the energy of spring, and be part of something bigger than a race—be part of a legacy that blossoms every year! 🌸🏃‍♂️🎉
