Alex's Duck Duck Run

Alex's Duck Duck Run is a community running event held at the Margaret Upton Arboretum in St. Joseph, Michigan. The event features a scenic 5K run and walk course that takes participants along the St.

Joseph River, Silver Beach, Lions Park Beach, Howard Recreational Trail, and through the Whirlpool Compass Fountain, beginning and ending at the arboretum. There is also a non-competitive 1K Kids' Fun Run designed for children ages 1 to 12, following a safe, paved route with volunteer support. All participants receive a race bib, t-shirt, and a rubber duck award.

Proceeds benefit The Alex Mandarino Foundation, supporting pediatric cancer research. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
