The Spring Awakening event on May 16, 2026 includes three foot-race distances and is based at Kestner Waterfront Park in Houghton, Michigan. Courses run along the Houghton canal and follow an out-and-back layout on the local bike path, offering views of the Keweenaw Waterway.
Distances:
- 10 km (10k) out-and-back along the canal bike path.
- 5 km (5k) out-and-back on the bike path.

Chip timing will be provided for the 5k and 10k races by a professional timing service. The 10k course includes an aid station at the turnaround. Participants in the 5k and 10k will receive a race medal and a race t-shirt. Awards are given to the top three male and female finishers in each of those races; prizes include footwear, gift certificates, and sunglasses, and an awards ceremony follows the race.
Bib and packet pick-up will take place in the park pavilion. Proceeds from the event will be donated to Special Olympics Area 39. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
