Race Route
The people have spoken, and we listened! After digging through your feedback, we’ve decided that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. We are thrilled to announce that the 2026 Another Clucking 5K route will be the exact same one you loved last year! This means that the race will once again be starting and ending right on the Potterville High School Track (425 E Main St), so you can channel your inner Olympian for that final sprint!

Hydration Station:
Bottles up, water or other electrolytes of course! Our race will feature the same re-fueling station as last year that is convenient for race participants to pass twice: approximately at the 1 mile and 2 mile marker.
Woof-tastic Fun:
Furry four legged dog friends are welcome! To ensure the route is clean and enjoyable, please pick up any “obstacles” and dispose during the course. All canine participants must be on a non-retractable short leash.
Safety:
We are kindly asking Potterville residents along the race route to not occupy street parking during the event. Additionally, the Potterville Police Department will escort the front of the race through the course race route. Race volunteers will be blocking any traffic on Vermontville Highway during the event. Benton Township paramedics will also be present in the event of an emergency.
Charity Partners
The 2027 Charity Partners will be evaluated and chosen as the race day approaches. Stay tuned for updates.
