Greatest 4th in the North 5k,10k, & 2k

Come out to support our local Lake City Trojan students and athletes! All proceeds from this event go directly to Lake City Boosters.

The 5k and 10k courses are fast, flat routes winding along beautiful Lake Missaukee and through downtown Lake City decked in its patriotic finest! The 2K Fun Run welcomes participants of all ages, especially the littlest racers to run through Missaukee County Park and along the beach's boardwalk.

Don't forget to plan on joining us afterwards for the Fourth of July parade downtown and fireworks in the evening over Lake Missaukee! 

RACE ROUTE & REGISTRATIONS CHANGES: Due to some major construction work right in downtown this summer, our race route must be altered a bit from previous years. Registration will also not take place at the city park area. It will take place just north of Forest Area Federal Credit Union, 101 Main St, Lake City, MI 49651. Apologies for the inconveniences, but with the building projects, our typical check in and finish area cannot be as usual. We hope to return to that area in Summer 2027!
