Mattawan Wildcat Road & Trail 5K

The Mattawan Wildcat Road & Trail 5K, held in Mattawan, Michigan, is a unique race combining paved roads and scenic trails. Starting and finishing at Mattawan Elementary School, the course navigates through school grounds, grassy areas, and a wooded trail section, offering runners a varied and engaging experience. Due to local construction, the route includes a mix of pavement, grass, and forest trails, passing by the middle school, softball and baseball fields, and the cross-country bus loop.

The event welcomes runners and walkers (with some restrictions) and provides food and drinks post-race. Proceeds support the Mattawan Public Education Foundation’s Brainstrong programs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
