About

Be the ONE Run/Walk takes place in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on October 25, 2026. One distance is on offer, the i understand Be the ONE 5K run/walk, starting at 10:00 a.m. It is a road event, and the mid-morning start means you can travel in on the day rather than staying over the night before.

The run-or-walk format keeps the barrier low. Runners can use the 5K as a sharp effort at the end of a fall training block, while walkers get a manageable 3.1 miles. If you want to race it, the preparation is simple: run four times a week for a month or two, keep most of it easy, and add one weekly session of short, fast repetitions with full recovery between them.
