Information

We're possibly the only run in the world that starts at a Quilt Show & ends at a Rummage Sale.

Alden Run events include a 5K, 10K, & 2 Mile Fun Walk. Both our 5K & 10K courses are USA Track & Field sanctioned with varied terrain including pavement, dirt roads, and two tracks through the woods.  Our 2-mile Fun Walk is on all paved roads making it stroller, pet, & kid friendly. 

Proceeds from The Alden Run are shared with Bellaire, Mancelona, & Central Lake Schools with money going to both the athletic departments & the art departments. Money is also donated to the Downtown Alden Business Association & other local non-profit organizations. Please consider a donation to The Alden Run. Just click the "Donation" button on our homepage.

Start Time is 9:00 a.m. Saturday, July 25th.

We're famous for our fun & eclectic race awards & festive door prizes from local merchants. All prizes, awards & door prizes are award after the race.

A live results link will be provided by Yooper Running Company and final results posted to yooperrunning.com
