About
The annual Run to Climax is a scenic 7K (4.3 miles) in Climax, Michigan, held as part of the town's Memorial Day festivities. The 2027 edition is set for May 24, with the 7K Run and the 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk (1.6 km) both starting at 8:00 a.m. Streets are closed to traffic to keep runners safe.
The race supports the Climax-Scotts PTO, funding equipment and activities for local elementary schools. Other community events round out the day, including a parade, a car show and craft booths. Registration includes a T-shirt, refreshments and free parking, and awards go to top finishers in various age groups.
