Steve's Run

Steve's Run is an annual running event held in Downtown Dowagiac, Michigan, featuring a 5K Run/Walk, 10K Run, and a Family Fun Run. The race course takes participants through paved city roads, a golf course, a cemetery, and wooded trails at Southwestern Michigan College, offering a varied and scenic route. Established in 1992 to honor Steven Briegel and support cancer research and scholarships, the event has raised over $180,000 in recent years.

The race fosters a community atmosphere with awards for various age groups and an after-race celebration featuring food, drinks, and live entertainment. Participants can also purchase "Fire Up" course signs to honor loved ones affected by cancer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
