The Pastrami Joe Give S'More Shuffle

The Pastrami Joe Give S'More Shuffle is held in Marshall, Michigan, on Friday, November 27, 2026. The event combines a 5K (3.1 miles) with a fun run/walk in a single 9:00 a.m. start, so timed runners and casual participants share the same course and the same morning. Registration goes through RunSignup.

Combining a race and a fun run in one start suits mixed groups: whoever wants to compete can run 3.1 miles hard, while anyone happy to walk simply covers the same route at their own speed. If you plan to race it, four to six weeks of three or four runs a week with one faster session is a sensible build; if you plan to walk it, regular time on your feet is all it takes. The 9:00 a.m. start on the Friday after Thanksgiving makes for an unhurried morning, with everything wrapped up well before midday.
