🌎 Reduce, Reuse, ReRun 5K – An Earth Day Pub Run Special
Celebrate Earth Day the Fleet Feet Mishawaka way — by running, reusing, and repurposing!

The Reduce, Reuse, ReRun: 5K Earth Day Pub Run is a timed 5K taking place during our Wednesday night Pub Run, turning a night we already love into a one-of-a-kind Earth Day event. Instead of creating more stuff, we’re giving new life to race items and gear from years past — because the most sustainable race is the one that already exists.

♻️ What Makes This Race Different
     ⏱️ Chip-timed 5K course
     🏃 Random race bibs from previous Fleet Feet events
     🏅 Mismatched medals, including donated medals from the local running community
     👕 Optional $5 race shirt grab bag — choose your size, design is a surprise
     🍻 The energy and community of our weekly Pub Run
Your bib, medal, and shirt will not match — and that’s the whole point.

🔄 Earth Day Gear Swap
In the spirit of reuse, we’re hosting a running gear swap alongside the event.
     Bring one gently used running item (clothing or accessories)
     Drop off your item before the start of the race
     After you finish the 5K, browse the swap and take one new-to-you item
It’s a great way to clear out your drawer and refresh your running kit — no money required.

Recycle old athletic footwear
     Bring in your old worn-out athletic footwear and receive a $10 off coupon to be used towards a new pair of shoes at Fleet Feet Mishawaka (coupon is only good through April 26th!)

👟 New Balance Shoe Demo - TBD
We’re excited to have New Balance sponsoring the Pub Run for Quarter 2! Their team will be on-site with shoe demos, so you can test out the latest New Balance models during the event.

💲 Registration & Add-Ons
$15 — Timed 5K registration (includes bib + medal)
$5 — Optional shirt add-on (grab bag style; size guaranteed, design not)

🌱 Why We’re Doing This
In honor of Earth Day, we’re choosing reuse over new, community over perfection, and fun over flash. By repurposing race items, swapping gear, and welcoming donated medals, we’re reducing waste while celebrating the miles we’ve already logged.

Whether you’re chasing a PR, trying out new shoes, or just here for the post-run beverage, this event is about moving together and giving old gear a second life.

Come run. Come reuse. Come celebrate Earth Day with us.
