community, Run Camp’s goal is to make the miles better, together!
Why Run Camp?
Because accountability is easier when someone’s waiting for you.
Because hard workouts feel lighter when they are shared.

Explore two parks in one race. Run (or walk!) through two beautiful Ottawa County Parks that sit along the Grand River. #2Parks1Race
The Ottawa County Parks Foundation and Ottawa County Parks are
excited to host this fun, family-friendly run/walk and celebrate the recently completed Idema Explorers Trail that connects Grand River Park to Grand Ravines Park. Come and enjoy nature, community, and some post-race treats. Ottawa County Parks are for everyone.
The course starts at Grand River County Park, winding you through a natural surface trail until you hit the newly completed Idema Explorers Trail segment that leads you along the Grand River to Grand Ravines County Park. As you enter Grand Ravines, you will see an old covered bridge and go up a small incline to a spectacular view of the river. If you’re lucky, you might even see the resident bald eagles out fishing.
If you are running (or walking) the 5K, you will turn around at this point. If you are running the 10K, you will continue to wind yourself through Grand Ravines Park, around past the dog park, through the meadow, across the Idema suspension bridge, down some stairs, and back through the woods to Grand River Park. Sounds pretty Grand, doesn’t it?
Starting Time:
The kids’ 1-mile fun run/walk will start at 8:00 am. The 10K and 5K races will start at 8:30 am.
The kids’ fun run/walk will be on a paved trail only, so strollers will be allowed. (No strollers will be allowed on the 10K/5K route due to difficult terrain and narrow trails in some areas of the course.)
Dogs:
Dogs will be allowed to run the 10K and 5K races with their human, but they must be on a six-foot leash at all times. We know dogs are a part of the family, we ask that you be considerate of those around you and that you only bring a dog that is well-mannered and comfortable around people, including children, and other dogs. We want everyone to have a great time!
Registration Price increases on April 1, 2026, for the 5K and 10K.
Register before Saturday, May 30, 2026, to guarantee a T-shirt!

What are your kids doing this summer? Not only will Fast Feet Running Camp help answer that question, but also your kids become better runners. Fast Feet Running Camp will be led by Coach Mike
Wojciakowski (Woj), who is USA Track & Field Level II certified coach who has a passion to work with youth. Coach Woj has spent over two decades coaching cross country and track at Aquinas College, along with being the coach for RunGR.
The Fast Feet Running Camp offers kids (aged 5-12) an introduction to the fundamentals of track and field. The camp will give future track stars a chance to gain experience, knowledge and skills in a fun, energetic atmosphere. An overview of proper warm-up, stretching, and nutrition will be tailored to each age group and coupled with drills and exercises to increase motor development and to improve flexibility. The values of teamwork and sportsmanship will be encouraged in our daily relay races, while positive reinforcement will act as a catalyst for increased confidence. The camp will also feature a daily snack, cotton t-shirt, and entrance into RunGR’s Magic of the Mile, which will be held at on July 9th.
To ensure that each kid is able to get Coach's attention, each group will be limited to 30 kids. Ages 5 - 6 will meet from 3pm to 3:45pm and ages 7 - 9 from 4pm to 4:45pm and ages 10-12 from 5pm to 6pm on July 6, 7, & 8. Fast Feet Running Camp will take place on Aquinas College's campus in the Alksnis Athletics & Recreation Building. To be guaranteed a shirt, kids must be registered by June 28.
For more information, email Coach Woj at [email protected] or call 616.856.0130. Fast Feet Running Camp is another great event brought to you by RunGR!
