Candy Cane Course - Grand Rapids

The Candy Cane Course is a festive running event welcoming participants of all abilities and fitness levels. You'll find multiple distance options: a 5K, 10K, 15K, and a one-mile untimed option. Kids ages 10 and under have their own special dash—a fun, untimed event where young runners meet at the start line and are walked out to the starting area. Every registered participant receives a custom bib, designer shirt, and finisher medal. Children ages 12 and under enjoy special pricing at just $22 for the 5K or 10K distances. The day kicks off with packet pickup, followed by the kids' dash at 8:55 a.m. and the main race start at 9:00 a.m. You'll enjoy chip-timing with live results, free race-day photos, and treats at the finish line. Results and awards are posted immediately at the registration tent. If your child wants to participate in the kids' dash without the shirt and medal, they're welcome to run free. To guarantee your shirt, register by midnight two Thursdays before race day.
