Join us for the exciting Alden Run on Saturday, July 25th, 2026, in the charming town of Alden, Antrim! This unique event kicks off at a vibrant quilt show and concludes at a delightful rummage sale, making it a one-of-a-kind experience for runners and walkers alike. Participants can choose from various distances, including a USA Track & Field sanctioned 5K and 10K, both featuring a mix of pavement, dirt roads, and scenic woodland tracks. For those looking for a more leisurely pace, the 2-mile Fun Walk is perfect for families, as it’s stroller, kid, and pet-friendly, all on paved roads.

The Alden Run is not just about the race; it's also about giving back to the community. Proceeds benefit local schools, including Bellaire, Mancelona, and Central Lake, supporting both athletic and art programs. Plus, you'll have the chance to win fun and eclectic race awards, as well as festive door prizes donated by local merchants, ensuring a joyful atmosphere for everyone involved. Don’t miss this fantastic opportunity to run for a cause and enjoy a day filled with community spirit and celebration! Mark your calendars and get ready for an unforgettable experience!
