Train To Trails Half Marathon and 5K
The Train To Trails Half Marathon and 5K is produced by Eastside Racing Company and Move It Fitness and is scheduled for July 19, 2026. It is the inaugural running of this event on the Southern Link Trailway in Michigan.
The event offers these distances:
- 13.1 Miles point-to-point half marathon from Millington Library to Columbiaville Community Center
- 3.1 Miles 5K out and back starting and finishing at Columbiaville Community Center
The half marathon follows a paved trailway through wooded areas and farmland, crossing the Flint River before finishing in Columbiaville. The 5K runs on the same trailway as an out and back with a single start and finish location at the community center.
Logistics include shuttle service from the finish area to the half marathon start; shuttles load at the finish and depart when full. The event is cupless: runners must carry a personal hydration pack or purchase a Hydrapak Speedcup; aid stations can refill personal containers with water or hydration mix. Packet pick up is at Columbiaville Community Center on the weekend before and the morning of the event.
Entry benefits list a gender specific tech shirt or tank, aid stations, an after race party with food and music, finisher medal, photos, unique overall and age group awards, and transportation to the half marathon start when provided. The half marathon enforces an official course closure at an 18 minute per mile pace. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
