JVS 5K-9 Fun Run/Walk in Bay City, MI
The JVS 5K Fun Run/Walk is a timed 5-kilometer event held on June 7, 2026 at the Bay City Community Center, 800 John F. Kennedy Dr, Bay City, MI. The event is organized by the Bay Area Women's Center and combines a community running event with support for survivors of violence.
Participants may run or walk with a dog on course; all dogs must be leashed. A dog is not required to participate. Although framed as a fun run/walk, the event is officially timed and prizes are awarded to top finishers in the male and female categories.
The event raises funds to cover boarding costs for pets belonging to survivors seeking shelter. Funds collected through the race support a fund held at the Bay Area Women's Center for that purpose. The event statement also cites goals of raising awareness and engaging the community in education related to supporting survivors of violence.
Registration is listed at $30 if completed before May 28, with the registration fee increasing after that date. Additional operational details such as packet pickup and on-course arrangements are provided by the organizer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
