Orchard Beach State Park 5k Run/Walk

The Orchard Beach State Park 5k Run/Walk is held in Manistee, Michigan, at the scenic Orchard Beach State Park. This event features a 5-kilometer course that starts at the park's trail parking area, including an outer loop, an out-and-back section, and a final loop around the campground. The route combines over two miles of groomed hiking trails with natural terrain, including roots and rocks, and less than a mile of paved campground paths.

Organized by the Manistee Run Club and Friends of Orchard Beach State Park, the event offers post-race hydration and snacks. Proceeds support the purchase of an all-terrain wheelchair for park visitors. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
