1 Miles 5k Run Walk

The 6th Annual Flannel 5K & 1-Mile Run is heading back to Beutter Park, taking runners and walkers along the beautiful Riverwalk in Mishawaka, Indiana! Choose between a 1-mile run, starting at 8:45 AM, or the 5K, kicking off at 9:05 AM.

Packet pickup will be available:

  • Friday, December 11 at Fleet Feet Mishawaka (3522 Grape Rd) during store hours (10:00 AM–7:00 PM)

  • Race morning beginning at 7:30 AM at Chicory Café (114 W 1st St)

This is a chip-timed event, and all participants will receive a finisher medal. Awards will be given to the top male and female finishers in both the 1-mile and 5K races. Event shirts will be available for purchase at the race store while supplies last—once they’re gone, they’re gone, so don’t wait!

And of course… don’t forget to wear your flannel!

We will continue to proudly partner with the South Bend Center for the Homeless by collecting new or gently used coats, hats, and gloves at Fleet Feet Mishawaka from December 1st - December 11th, or at Chicory Café during the race on December 12th.

    On June 3, We Run Together.

    Global Running Day is our holiday! A celebration of the activity we love and the sport that brings our community together. We invite all runners and walkers to join us for this free event on Wednesday, June 3, to mark the occasion, set a goal, and cross the finish line. We encourage you to bring your family, friends, and neighbors. This year, we will also have an a la carte option to be chip-timed.

    This year's event will be happening in-person at Central Park and will be a 5k distance on the beautiful Riverwalk! The race will begin at 7:00 PM. Packet pick-up will be at the Fleet Feet Mishawaka store (3522 Grape Road, Mishawaka, IN) on Tuesday, June 2, 2026 between 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM and day-of-packet-pickup will be available starting at 5:00 PM from the Bendix Pavilion at Central Park.

    The Big Run Finisher Medals, Shirts, and Hats can be purchased in the event store.

    The Big Run has partnered with Girls on the Run for this event and encourages participants, if able, to donate their registration fee to Girls on the Run. You can donate during your registration or click on the link below for Girls on the Run.

    Help Us Give Back: Through our charitable arm, Do the Run Thing™, Fleet Feet has partnered with Girls on the Run and its SoleMates program so we can help more girls cross more finish lines. Why? Because everyone benefits when we support our kids.

    Here are two ways you can help:

    1. Become a Solemate! Solemates raise critical funds for Girls on the Run while completing a physical challenge. You don't need to be a star athlete to join—you only need to be a champion for the girls in their communities.

    2. Donate to your local Girls on the Run council. Your donation will benefit Girls on the Run programs and participants in the Michiana community.

    Join us December 8, 2026 for a running tour of Winding Brook Park's brilliant display of holiday lights. Winding Brook Park's residents create beautiful light displays each year and take donations for area charities. Fleet Feet Mishawaka is looking to donate a total of $2000 this year. Fleet Feet will start the donations off with $1000 leaving the remaining $1000 up to our amazing running community. We are suggesting a minimum $5 donation per runner to help get us there.

    Teddy Bear Trot: In addition to your cash donations, we encourage everyone to bring a stuffed teddy bear, which will be provided to a local Non-profit to give kids an extra hug this holiday season.

    Things all participants should consider:

    • Register in advance and submit your donation online.

    • We will be parking and having check-in at the Walt Disney Elementary School 4015 Filbert Rd, Mishawaka, IN 46545.

    • Participants are required to check-in upon arrival. Participants will receive a safety light that they will be required to wear for the duration of the event at check-in for safety and visibility out on the route.

    • All participants are expected to follow the traffic signs in order to tour all the houses on display. The traffic signs will have some sort of flashing light hanging on them to make them more noticeable.

    • The run will end where it started to allow participants to cross safely at the traffic light back to their vehicles.

    • Volunteers will be on the route to help guide you.

    • The lights are pretty bright but be sure to bring a light source like a headlamp or knuckle lights to see any potholes or other dips in the road.

    • Christmas Light necklaces and other festive wear are 100% encouraged! We get some great pictures with everyone all lit up.

    • Strollers are welcome as long as kiddos stay in them.

    • We chose a time that isn't as popular with cars, but they are still present. The vehicle traffic is one-way only if they follow the route. We will be running with traffic most of the time, but may also find ourselves running against traffic in some areas.

    • Leave the dogs at home, it's too dark and chaotic for our furry friends.

    • If you are not feeling well, please stay home! This protects the rest of the participants and our awesome volunteers.
