About the Mill Creek Days 5k/10k

The course runs along the White Pine Trail, a paved path heading north from behind a sports bar. Tree cover keeps most of the route shaded, and the trail passes alongside Mill Creek and the Grand River before finishing at Dwight Lydell Park. The terrain is flat throughout, with very few road crossings.

Parking at the finish park is limited, so additional parking is available at the middle school on School Street. After finishing, there are pancakes for runners, a beer tent, cornhole, and live music in the park.

Common Questions About the Mill Creek Days 5k/10k

Will I finish last at the Mill Creek Days 5k/10k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 30:20, and the last recorded finisher came in around 58:40, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Mill Creek Days 5k/10k a good first 5K?

It is a small race (171 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 Mill Creek Days 5k/10k?

The 5K winner ran 15:54 while the median finisher took 30:20. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
