Jogging for Jakey 5K, 7th annual
The seventh annual Jogging for Jakey is a 5K running event held on 08/29/2026 at Bennett Park Center, 10405 Merrill Rd., Hamburg, Michigan. The event is organized to raise funds for children with physical and cognitive challenges.
This year the fundraiser will support a local family facing Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1. The condition affects motor neurons and leads to progressive muscle weakness, which creates day-to-day challenges such as walking and going up and down stairs. The family has two affected children, ages 8 and 5. A stair lift would reduce some of these daily barriers, but insurance will not cover the device. A stair lift can cost upwards of $5,000, and the event aims to gather funds to help provide one.
Registration opens on 2026-03-24 and closes on 2026-08-28. The stated registration fee is $30. Pre-registration pickup is available for T-shirts and sign-in. The event description avoids start or finish time details. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
