Event summary
Join the festive spirit at the Boyne City Independence Day Run on Friday, July 4th, 2025, set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Charlevoix in Boyne City, Michigan. This year's event features a revamped 5 Mile run, replacing the traditional 10K, allowing participants to enjoy a shorter course and more time to prepare for the exciting Independence Day parade!
With a focus on family fun, the race attracts around 1,200 enthusiastic runners each year. Choose from the professionally timed 5 Mile or 2 Mile events and take part in a celebration that encompasses not only running but also music, games, and activities for all ages. The proceeds from the run contribute to the spectacular fireworks display that lights up the night sky, so be sure to stick around for the grand finale! While finisher medals and age group awards will not be offered this year due to rising costs, the emphasis remains on community and enjoyment. Mark your calendars for this delightful day of fitness and festivities!

Organiser's Description
BOYNE CITY INDEPENDENCE DAY RUN - ON THE SCENIC SHORES OF LAKE CHARLEVOIX. A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THIS YEARS RACE! THE 10K RUN EVENT IS BEING REPLACED WITH A 5 MILE RUN EVENT! THERE ARE MANY REASONS FOR THIS CHANGE WITH IMPROVEMENTS IN COURSE AND TIME MANAGEMENT. A SHORTER RUN = MORE TIME TO PREPARE FOR THE PARADE!
Come for the race, stay for the parade and a day filled with family fun, music, activities, games and cap off your evening with an amazing Fireworks Show as part of the BOYNE CITY 4TH OF JULY FESTIVAL!
A small town race done in a BIG way with as many as 1,200 participants in recent years, the Boyne City Independence Day run is a low cost and family fun event offering professionally timed 5 Mile and 2 Mile events. Proceeds from the event go toward the amazing fireworks show that we strongly suggest participants stick around for!
_Please note that finisher medals and age group awards will not be a part of this years event. With the current tariffs, medal and award prices have dramatically increased. In order to keep this fundraiser event for the Boyne City Fireworks affordable for families, the decision was made to exclude these items for 2025. We hope for the return of finisher medals and age group awards in 2026._
