Frankfort, MI

About the Blueberry Dash 5K

The course runs out and back along South Shore Drive, a quiet residential road that follows the shoreline of Crystal Lake. Traffic stays on the road but is monitored by law enforcement throughout, and the pace of the neighborhood keeps things calm. Strollers and mobility devices are welcome, and the route works for anyone who wants to walk part or all of it.

Packet pickup is the evening before at the pavilion in Bellows Park, with a second window on race morning. Parking in the area is limited, so the organizers encourage carpooling and drop-offs. After the race, there is food and fellowship back at the pavilion.

Common Questions About the Blueberry Dash 5K

Will I finish last at the Blueberry Dash 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 31:03, and the last recorded finisher came in around 54:55, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Blueberry Dash 5K a good first 5K?

It is a small race (97 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Blueberry Dash 5K?

The 5K winner ran 18:24 while the median finisher took 31:03. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
