Run A Muck Cross Country 5K and 10K

Continue a great Father's Day tradition or start a new one!  Join us for the Run A Muck on Sunday June 21, 2026 at Scholl Farms in Montague Michigan

This unique running event is set on a private organic farm in Montague Michigan just 3 miles from Lake Michigan.  Challenge yourself and your family on a real farm-style 5k cross country course.  You may feel like crushing it and getting dirty or moving at a more relaxed pace to take in the natural beauty that surrounds you.   Either way, this is YOUR event to reconnect with nature and loved ones. This is a real working farm and the course winds through beautiful wooded trails and fields. The 5K terrain is mostly flat but includes water/mud jumps, hay bales, logs, and more.  The 10K course completes the 5K course before heading out to a second half that will include additional hills and more technical terrain. **This event is dog friendly and includes a Dog Division for our canine competitors.
