It’s cold outside!
So join us for a fun new event series, The Crim Winter Warm-Up, to stay active and get ready for all your spring races and activities!
Michigan winters are probably going to be cold and snowy - and we KNOW they can be dark - but don’t let that keep you inside! New in 2026, the Crim is offering a 3-part event series called the Crim Winter Warm-Up! The events are designed to be fun, informal, low-cost and high-value! Come on out, shake off the cold, and make some new friends. Run, walk, jog, or something that suits you.
What is it? How does it work? What do I get?
The Crim Winter Warm-Up is a series of three events where you can join up with a group to do a winter time run or walk. These FUN RUNS/WALKS are open to participants of all paces and the Crim Team will provide suggested 3-mile and 5-mile routes (though you can go shorter or longer distances based on your preferences).
These are self-guided, untimed events intended to provide a venue and platform for people to get together and have some fun training while creating social connections!
The best part? Each event will be hosted by one of our amazing community partners!
Winter Warm-Up Event 2: February 12 at 6PM, hosted by The Laundry (Fenton)
The first 50 people to register will receive a custom Crim neck-gaiter (neck warmer).
All participants can enjoy complimentary baked goods, coffee, and other hot beverages in “The Laundry Room” event space.
How much does it cost?
Events are $10 each or $25 if you sign up for all three at once! This $10 includes entry, suggested route maps, complimentary beverages or food items mentioned above, and a Crim giveaway, while supplies last.
Can I get some swag?
You know it! Winter Warm-Up training hoodies are available in registration for $30, and long sleeved tech shirts for $20. These items can be picked up at the event at the check in table. Additional items, like long-sleeved t-shirts, hoodies, and hats can be purchased through our Crim Store.
