Event Overview
The Big House 5K is an annual running and walking event held in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The course leads participants through the University of Michigan campus and concludes with a finish on the 50-yard line of Michigan Stadium. This race serves as a platform to raise awareness and funds for local non-profit organizations, with proceeds distributed among six selected beneficiaries.
The event offers the following distance options:
- 3.1 Miles (Standard entry)
- 3.1 Miles (Stroller registration for ages 5 and younger)
All participants, including infants and youth, must be registered to access the course and the stadium field. Age categories for timing and prizes are determined based on the participant's age on the day of the race.
Participants receive a race bib with an integrated timing chip for on-course tracking. The registration fee includes a commemorative finisher's medal and digital race photos. Standard race entries also include a soft blend t-shirt, though stroller entries do not receive a shirt. Awards are available for overall winners and specific age group categories. The event maintains a minimum donation from each entry fee to support the designated community beneficiaries. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
