Grand Explorers' Trail Race

The Grand Explorers' Trail Race, held in Jenison, Michigan, offers a scenic running experience through two connected Ottawa County Parks along the Grand River. Participants can choose from a 1-mile kids' fun run, 5K, or 10K distances, with options to run or walk, including races allowing one dog on a leash. The course features natural surface trails, the newly completed Idema Explorers Trail, a covered bridge, river views, and a suspension bridge.

The event is family-friendly, with strollers allowed only on the kids' paved trail. Post-race treats and a welcoming community atmosphere highlight this celebration of nature and outdoor activity. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
