5k Run Walk

The THIRD ANNUAL St. Joseph 5k “Turkey Trot” Run/Walk will be held on November 26, 2026! Starting and finishing at the Margaret B. Upton Arboretum, this will be a wonderful way for families to gather, friends to reunite, and the community to strengthen – not to mention a guilt-free way to begin a day famous for indulging! Participants will run or walk past Silver Beach Pizza, Shadowland, the Carousel, and our Iconic beaches on the way to an energetic finish with music, refreshments, and awards. Our goal is simply to create an event that will become a tradition as so many other Thanksgiving Day races have become throughout Michigan.

    Help STOMP out Alzheimer's and participate in the stoopidest & funnerest run you'll ever do!!

    5kish run through Deerfly infested woods of Grand Mere State Park. Catch deer flies with a Tred- Not Deerfly Patch & raise $$$ to help fight Alzheimer's disease.

    Catch deer flies with a Tred- Not Deerfly Patch (on your hat...BRING A HAT!!!) & raise $$$ to help fight Alzheimer's disease. Although we hope your time flies with us (see what I did there?), this is not a timed event.

    The winner is the STOMPER who catches the most number of deer flies. Yes, we will actually count the deer flies. Rules? There's not a lot of rules...the "Dee Berry" rule (you can't steal somebody else's patch) is the only real rule. Prizes to top 3 STOMPERS!

    FYI This is year 17 of the Jack Settles Deerfly Stomp!!! (Plus a few years of informal stomping...) Over the past 16 years we have caught approximately 3500 deerflies (plus at least 1 horsefly...grrrr) AND donated over $14,000 to the Alzheimer's Association!

    Alzheimer's Facts:

    6.9 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's. That number is expected to grow to 13 million by 2050.

    Health and long-term care costs for people living with dementia are projected to reach $360 billion in 2024 and nearly $1 trillion in 2050.

    About 1 in 9 people (10.9%) age 65 and older has Alzheimer’s dementia.

    1 IN 3 Seniors dies with Alzheimer's or another dementia.

    It kills more than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined.

    The lifetime risk for Alzheimer's at age 45 is 1 in 5 for women and 1 in 10 for men.

    Alzheimer's disease was the fifth-leading cause of death among people age 65 and older in 2021.
