🌎 Reduce, Reuse, ReRun 5K – An Earth Day Pub Run Special

Celebrate Earth Day the Fleet Feet Mishawaka way — by running, reusing, and repurposing!

The Reduce, Reuse, ReRun: 5K Earth Day Pub Run is a timed 5K taking place during our Wednesday night Pub Run, turning a night we already love into a one-of-a-kind Earth Day event. Instead of creating more stuff, we’re giving new life to race items and gear from years past — because the most sustainable race is the one that already exists.

♻️ What Makes This Race Different

⏱️ Chip-timed 5K course

🏃 Random race bibs from previous Fleet Feet events

🏅 Mismatched medals, including donated medals from the local running community

👕 Optional $5 race shirt grab bag — choose your size, design is a surprise

🍻 The energy and community of our weekly Pub Run

Your bib, medal, and shirt will not match — and that’s the whole point.

🔄 Earth Day Gear Swap

In the spirit of reuse, we’re hosting a running gear swap alongside the event.

Bring one gently used running item (clothing or accessories)

Drop off your item before the start of the race

After you finish the 5K, browse the swap and take one new-to-you item

It’s a great way to clear out your drawer and refresh your running kit — no money required.

👟 New Balance Shoe Demo

We’re excited to have New Balance sponsoring the Pub Run for Quarter 2! Their team will be on-site with shoe demos, so you can test out the latest New Balance models during the event.

💲 Registration & Add-Ons

$15 — Timed 5K registration (includes bib + medal)

$5 — Optional shirt add-on (grab bag style; size guaranteed, design not)

🌱 Why We’re Doing This

In honor of Earth Day, we’re choosing reuse over new, community over perfection, and fun over flash. By repurposing race items, swapping gear, and welcoming donated medals, we’re reducing waste while celebrating the miles we’ve already logged.

Whether you’re chasing a PR, trying out new shoes, or just here for the post-run beverage, this event is about moving together and giving old gear a second life.

Come run. Come reuse. Come celebrate Earth Day with us.

Both the 5k and 1 Mile course will run on courses through the Strong Avenue neighborhood, beginning and ending at Mary Daly Elementary School.

All runners will receive participant ribbons. Top three male and female runners in each division will receive medals. Top three overall male and female runners will receive trophies.

Participants registered prior to April 15 are guaranteed a race t-shirt.

All participants are invited to the Block Party on school grounds, held from 9:30-12:30. Free games and a bounce house will be available and food may be purchased from a variety of vendors.

All events will be held rain or shine!
