Howell Melon Run

The Howell Melon Run, held annually in downtown Howell, Michigan, is a family-friendly event featuring multiple races including the Melon Roll for ages 2-5, the One in a Melon Mile, and the popular Howell Melon 5k Run. Participants can also opt for a combined Mile & 5k event. The 48th edition takes place on August 15, 2025, welcoming runners, walkers, and those using assistive devices.

The race is chip-timed by the Michigan Running Foundation, with awards for overall and masters categories, plus finisher medals. Proceeds support local community programs. Packet pickup is available before race day, and registrations before July 28 guarantee a short-sleeved shirt. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
