Organiser's Description

Our 5th annual, fun, local, hometown 5k race to help "Raise the Bar" for all Springport running athletes. This event will be run entirely in the town of Springport around a 2 lap road and trail course. There will be ample opportunities for spectators to cheer on all the athletes.

We will again start and finish at the Springport Bible Church this year. This change will help make less foot traffic on sidewalk on M-99 in front of the tavern and hopefully give us some more room. Our event is still GROWING!!! Speaking of growing this race has helped provide us with: warmups, poles, crossbars, pit covers, cart and starting blocks, chalk/tape, training tools, all new throwing implements and all new aluminum scorers tables for our field events! Our facilities are getting back in to top notch conditions! New school records have been set with these helpful additions and it is surely a sign of things to come. Records and rules are made to be broken!

T-shirt included with run, as well as some finish line giveaways!

Please park at the Springport Church to the rear of the lot we start and finish on the driveway. Overflow parling behind Hotel Tavern and the high school. We need to keep the roads clear for our runners!

There will be a timing clock but it will NOT be a chip timed event. This is about getting together having fun challenging each other to simply raise their own personal bar. Push their own limits! This is the perfect first race or perfect small race you will enjoy coming back to.

Join strava and the Springport Spartan runner's club then log this run for potentially bonus prizes! *

Our Track team will benefit greatly from the funds we raise at this event. So let's keep this ball rolling once again and "Raise the Bar" a little more! We won't stop either...just keep raising it up for the continued success of our student athletes! GO BLUE, GO SPARTANS!
