Cedar Polka Fest – Run 4 The Kielbasa

The Cedar Polka Fest – Run 4 The Kielbasa is a four-mile race held annually in downtown Cedar, Michigan, as part of the Cedar Polka Fest tradition. Now in its fifth year, this professionally timed event welcomes runners, walkers, strollers, wheelchair racers, and dogs. Participants enjoy a festive atmosphere with encouragement to dress up, and the race concludes with a complimentary pancake breakfast benefiting the Cedar Area Fire & Rescue.

Awards are presented during the breakfast. For those unable to attend in person, a virtual run option is available. A shorter "Run 2 The Pierogi" fun run is also offered for a lighter challenge.

The event supports community spirit and features post-race festivities including a parade and live polka music. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
