Dragon Trails Triathlon (Sprint)

Lace up and join us for the Guest House Run Over Addiction 5K & 1-Mile Fun Run—a community event celebrating hope, recovery, and the life-saving mission of Guest House.

The 1-Mile Fun Run, great for kids and families, begins at 8:30 a.m., followed by the 5K race at 9:00 a.m. on the scenic campus of Guest House, home to the historic William E. Scripps Mansion in Lake Orion, Michigan.

Proceeds from this event directly support Guest House’s mission to provide the information, education, treatment and care needed to assure that Catholic clergy, men and women religious, and seminarians suffering from alcoholism, addictions, and other behavioral health conditions have the best opportunity for quality recovery and overall health and wellness.

For the first time, we are proud to offer a virtual 5K option, allowing supporters near and far to participate. All runners—both in person and virtual—will receive a commemorative event shirt and participation medal. Prizes will be awarded to the top in-person male/female age category finishers.

Lake Orion to Seven Lakes Overnight Adventure

Looking for an overnighter close to home? We’ve got you covered. Along with Lake Orion Bike & Adventure, we’ve designed the perfect intro to bikepacking – low stress, high reward, and plenty of support along the way.

Saturday, we’ll meet at the shop and roll out on a mix of trails and quiet back roads en route to Seven Lakes State Park. With over 230 acres of water, it’s the perfect setting to unwind, whether that means paddling, swimming, fishing, or just kicking back by the shoreline.

Along the way we’ll stop at Cook’s Farm Dairy to get ice cream, see the cows, pet a calf, and then onward to camp

We’ll take care of dinner with a camp cookout, followed by a classic campfire, and a few sweet treats to round out the night.

Sunday starts slow and easy with fresh coffee and light snacks. Once we roll out we’ll drop by Crust Coffee and Bakery in Fenton. And later visit downtown Clarkston for some famous mac and cheese from the Union. Then it’s an easy ride along the safety pathway from Clarkston to Lake Orion.

It’s the perfect way to make your first (or next) bikepacking trip a great one.

Join us for our third annual Tails & Trails 5K! The race is open to participants of all ages and will kick off with a Cat Walk 1K at 10am (dogs and cats are welcome in both races). The 5K race begins at 10:30am and will take runners along Independence Oaks’ beautiful trails. A family fun zone and other activities for participants to enjoy will be on site for the duration of the race along with local animal businesses such as markets, groomers and more!

Our event is working to raise funds through donations for an amazing animal rescue this year: Great Lakes Dog Rescue.

Donations can also be made to Great Lakes Dog Rescue whose mission is to rescue well-tempered, adoptable dogs from animal control facilities and from owner-surrenders and provide them shelter and medical care until they are adopted. They are committed to educating and assisting the community in responsible pet ownership.

The race is open to both walkers and runners or all ages. Dogs or cats are welcome to race with their owner as long as they have a current license and are kept on a 6 foot leash. Please keep control of your pet at all times.
