The Fawn 5K
The Fawn 5K is an annual run and walk event organized by Short's Fawn Rescue, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the care of sick, injured, and orphaned fawns. The event takes place in Dryden, Michigan, and serves as a fundraiser to support the rescue's operations in Lapeer County and surrounding areas.
The race is held on the Polly Ann Trail. The course starts and finishes near Dryden Memorial Park and Mulholland Drive. Participants follow the trail and turn around near the bridge over the Belle River. The event utilizes Miller Race Management for professional timing, and results are available as participants finish the course.
Available distances include:
- 5 km run/walk
Optional event shirts are available for purchase in different materials, including cotton blends and polyester tek varieties. Registration follows a tiered pricing structure with early, regular, and late periods. Participants have the option to use a sponsor sheet to collect additional donations for the rescue. Awards are presented at the event as soon as timing for participants is confirmed.
The course is located at Dryden Memorial Park and utilizes the converted rail trail path for the duration of the race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
