Fruitport, MI
Entry is $35 now and rises to $40 after Mar 30, 2027, so registering before then saves $5.
The course runs through the cross country grounds at Calvary Christian Schools, so expect grass and natural terrain rather than pavement. It is the kind of surface that rewards trail shoes or at least something with grip, and the surroundings are open and quiet.
Packet pickup happens race morning at a place called Refresh Zone, before the start at the school. The start area is on campus, so parking and the course are close together.

The Kendra Classic 5K has been held every year since at least 2026. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 38:38, and the last recorded finisher came in around 49:12, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
It is a small race (16 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 3.1 Miles winner ran 23:44 while the median finisher took 38:38. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
