Shipshewana Mayfest Roadrun

On Saturday, May 2nd, 2026, the Shipshewana Mayfest Road Run will be taking place as part of Shipshewana's Annual Mayfest celebration.  The event will feature two races designed for runners of all ages and experience levels.

We will kick things off at 8:15 a.m. with the 1 Mile Fun Run. The race will begin near 345 North Morton Street at the Wolfe Building. The fun run will be run on the newly paved North Street.  It will be a straight out and back run for the kids.  The kids will finish close to where they started. Medals will be awarded to the top three boys and girls. At 8:30 am, the 5K Shipshewana Road Run begins. The course has slightly changed but will be familiar to any who have run here before!  Immediately following the race, prizes will be awarded to the top three men and women overall, and the winner in each age division.  Both races will be electronically timed.
