The Alden Run

The Alden Run is a vibrant community event held in Alden, Michigan, featuring a 5K, 10K, and a 2-mile fun walk. Established in 1980, it is a highlight of Alden Days, celebrating summer with a unique twist, as it starts at a quilt show and concludes at a rummage sale. The race courses traverse varied terrains, including pavement, dirt roads, and wooded tracks, making it accessible for participants of all ages and abilities.

Proceeds from the event support local community initiatives and schools. Participants can also look forward to collectible t-shirts and fun race awards. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
