Michigan Fruit Belt Series (2026 season)
The Michigan Fruit Belt Series is a statewide set of community running and walking events held May 25 to October 24, 2026. The season comprises ten events in various Michigan towns, with local fruit themes such as blueberry, strawberry, cherry, peach, watermelon, grape, apple, and pear.
Participants may record certified finish times at individual events. Those who complete five qualifying 5K or longer run or walk events and have official times posted receive a Commemorative Gold Coin Medallion. Medallions are awarded once the fifth qualifying official time has been recorded and posted.
The series was founded in 2007 and has been recognized as a Pure Michigan Fitness Series. Its physical activity content has been reviewed and endorsed by the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness, Health and Sports; this endorsement applies only to the physical activity content and does not extend to sponsoring organizations or products.
Events take place in multiple communities across Michigan. The series emphasizes organized, season-long participation with an established completion reward for those meeting the five-event qualifying requirement. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
