Thank you for your interest in the Annual Kick-Off to Summer Run. Due to the Stay at Home Order, we had to postpone this race. Notification was made to current registrants via email and to the public via social media at the end of April. Please check Tri-Cities Family YMCA Facebook page and this website for further information on a postponement date. Thank you for your understanding.

The race begins on Harbor Drive just north of the Tri-Cities Family YMCA on the Grand River. The course is challenging, with varied terrain, and offers the beautiful scenery of Lake Michigan and Grand Haven. The 5k route is US Track & Field Certified. Please note this is an open course. Please be respectful of volunteers and public safety officials directing runners-it is for your safety.
The 1 Mile Family Fun Run/Walk is a non-competitive run/walk for the entire family (strollers and wagons welcome). Race includes a race bib, ribbon and refreshments at the finish line. Family members who ran the 5k do not need to register separately for the one mile fun run.
The Tot Trot obstacle course takes place at Mulligan’s Hollow and is free for ages 3-6.
In the event of inclement weather, events will be delayed in 15 minute increments. If the 5k race has not been started by 930am, all events will be cancelled.
Please allow time for parking. The YMCA lots will close by 730am. If you have parked at the YMCA, you will not be able to exit until 10:00 AM. Parking in local municipal lots and city streets is advised. It is safe to estimate a 10-15 minute walk to the YMCA.
