Blueberry Dash 5K
The Blueberry Dash 5K is organized by Benzie Senior Resources, a nonprofit, and takes place at Bellows Park in Frankfort, Michigan. The course begins and ends near the park pavilion and follows an out-and-back route on South Shore Drive E. along the shoreline of Crystal Lake; the turnaround point is marked on the course.
The event offers professional timing provided by Rotpac Racing of Detroit for participants who choose to be timed. Walkers and runners who do not opt for timing may begin at a broader start window on race morning. Strollers and mobility devices are welcome, and children up to age 17 may accompany a parent or guardian at no charge. Age-level certificates for men and women will be available and mailed to contestants.
Registration includes an online fee of $40; tee shirts are available for the first 300 registrants. On-site registration and packet pick-up occur at the pavilion on the morning of the event. Online registration processing fees are covered by the organization.
Parking is available in Bellows Park and along non-private property on Bellows Ave., S Shore Drive E., and Thomas Road; parking is limited. Law enforcement will monitor speeds on the residential roadway, and a courtesy car will move along the race route while the road remains open to traffic.
All race proceeds support Benzie Senior Resources programs for Benzie County adults aged 60 and older. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
