Mattawan Wildcat Road & Trail 5K
About the Event
Before we jump into this year’s preview, let’s be clear about one thing: this 5K includes trails. Yes, trails. Consider this your official trail disclaimer.
We are excited to return to our original setup, starting and finishing on the high school track. There is nothing better than beginning inside the stadium and closing out your race with a strong lap on the track. Fast start. Fast finish. Wildcat style.
Because of ongoing construction in several areas around campus, this year’s exact route is still being finalized. Our team is designing a fun and adventurous course that embraces the spirit of this event. The finalized course map will be reviewed and posted soon.
You can expect a mix of surfaces that keeps things interesting. Portions of the trail, including dirt and grass. Some road sections to let you open up your stride. A combination that reflects cross-country grit with just enough pavement to stay fast.
This is not a pure road race. It is not a straight cross-country course either. It is a Wildcat Road & trail 5K, which means natural terrain, changing rhythm, and a course that rewards focus and effort.
And yes, in case you missed it, there will be a trail.
We will have food and drinks waiting for you at the finish line on the track. Please note that dogs are not allowed on the course. The event will be held rain or shine, though delays or cancellations may occur in the case of dangerous weather. No refunds will be issued.
So lace up your running shoes, trail-ready is encouraged, and get ready.
The trails are calling. And this year, they start and end at home.
Join fellow runners on August 1, 2026 for the Mattawan Wildcat Road & Trail 5K. It's a fantastic 5K featuring a flat and fast course in Mattawan.
