Redeem Mi Run

Redeem Mi Run is held in Montague, Michigan, on October 31, 2026. The half marathon (13.1 miles) starts at 9:00 a.m. and the 5K follows at 9:15 a.m. The event is an annual fundraiser for the Redeem Mi Land project, which is restoring a site formerly used as a municipal dump and turning it into natural wetland for wildlife and for the public. Participants can run or walk either distance.

Knowing what your entry pays for changes how the morning feels, and a cause tends to carry you through the miles when the pace stops being fun. On the practical side, the half rewards about ten weeks of preparation with one long run a week building toward eleven miles; the 5K needs far less and suits anyone who wants to take part without a training block behind them.
