1st Run for Resilience Ostomy 5K
The event is a multi-day gathering held October 2–3, 2026, at 8801 N. Territorial Road, Dexter, Michigan 48130, United States. The program centers on a 5K run with two competitive divisions and several children’s races.
One of the 5K entries is the Open Division for males and females of all ages. Age groups for the Open Division are: 19 and under; 20-29; 30-39; 40-49; 50-59; 60-69; 70+. A separate Ostomate Division is provided, with awards for the top three ostomates. Entry for each 5K division has a registration fee of $35.00.
Children’s events include 50-yard dashes in two age categories:
- 5K (Open and Ostomate divisions)
- 50 yards (kids ages 5 and under, and ages 6 to 10)
The event supports the United Ostomy Associations of America (UOAA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Proceeds benefit UOAA and donations are described as tax deductible. Fundraising options offer incentives: a registration fee refund for individuals who raise $150 or more, and named fundraising levels at $250+ and $450+ with awards noted as TBA. A volunteer opportunity is listed for October 2. A referral program offers a $20 refund to participants who invite five other registrants; this applies to in-person and virtual participation.
