HAUNTED HALLOWEEN 5K & 10K RUN / WALK: A fundraiser for the Spring Lake Schools Boys' volleyball program.

Spring Lake, MI
The Haunted Halloween 5K & 10K Run / Walk takes place in a wonderful, fully enclosed venue. 2 laps on the bike path around the lake equals a 5K, and 4 laps equals a 10K. The Start/Finish timing mat will provide a chip start time and record your total time. If you happen to lose count of your laps (hopefully, you can count to 2 or 4), your laps are also recorded. If you feel motivated, you can register for the 5K and 10K Combined event. Run the 5K first and then get in line to run the 10K. This is for running only and not walking. This is a fundraising event, and all proceeds will support the Spring Lake High School boys' volleyball program. While boys' volleyball has been going on for quite some time, it hasn't been sanctioned by the MHSAA until now. Spring Lake boys' volleyball has seen and enjoyed increased participation along with individual and team development. The boys' volleyball program is not school-funded, and as such, this is a Pay-To-Play school sports program. The individual, team, travel, supplies, and MANY other expenses are VERY significant for the season and off-season. This is a Halloween-themed event, and costumes are VERY welcome and encouraged. There will be an award for the best costume. Come in your costume, racing clothes, or casual clothes, and enjoy the Halloween environment. Overall awards for male and female will go 3 deep. Age group awards for male and female will go 3 deep in 5-year age increments up to our oldest participant. Registered participants will receive a long-sleeved "Dri-Fit" tech shirt. We are proud to say that the famed photography service, STELLAFLY, will be on site, shooting the event, capturing the environment, and individual photos. These photos will be available to our participants, free of charge. While we all love our fur babies, please keep your furry loved ones at home, as they are not allowed on the course. Running strollers are allowed, but we ask that you start at the back of the field. There will be 1 aid station located just beyond the Start/Finish line, providing water and Gatorade. This will allow you to replenish liquids multiple times. Post-race snacks for participants and volunteers will be provided. We can also provide team and club discounts. If you have a club or team that desires to participate, please contact us.

From Silence to Strength: A Walk to Acknowledge, Celebrate, and Support Survivors of Domestic Violence

Ferndale, MI
Join us Saturday, October 31, 2026, from 10am–1pm at Geary Park in Ferndale, MI, for a walk/run created to honor, celebrate, and uplift. This is more than a race. It's a moment to acknowledge the families who have lost a loved one to domestic violence, to celebrate the survivors who found their way to the other side, and to stand beside those who are in the middle of the hardest walk of all — leaving. Every registration and donation directly funds real, immediate support for women escaping violent relationships: up to two weeks of temporary housing, food vouchers, and transportation to help them get safely to their next step. Silence protects abusers. Strength protects survivors. This October, we walk to make sure no woman has to choose between staying and having nowhere to go. Register today. Walk with us. Be someone's strength.

Volunteers Interested in volunteering? Events like this can’t be successful without great volunteers! Sign up at the link at the top of this page and we’ll be in touch. REFUND AND TRANSFER POLICY We completely understand that plans change and athletes will sometimes be unable to compete in an event they've signed up for. We also understand that registering for one of our events is a financial investment in that race. We accept your registration funds with the full intention of putting on the promised event with the listed amenities and we use your registration funds to pay for the necessary items and services needed to host the event. With that in mind, refunds will not be provided for this event unless the event is cancelled for reasons within our control. The following are examples (but not limited to) of reasons an event might be canceled that are NOT within our control: Dangerous weather; natural disasters; pandemics; acts of terrorism; local emergencies; government mandates; and any situation creating a threat to safety of participants, volunteers, staff or bystanders. Should a registrant have an injury or other medical issue keeping them from competing in an event they've registered for, we would be happy to transfer their registration to a similar Dig Deep-owned event up to and including the same event the following season. A doctor's slip may be required as proof of injury or ailment. Failure to provide proof if requested will result in non-transfer of the event. Transferring registrations to other runners/athletes is NOT allowed. A special thank you goes out to chief jack doyle and the richland police department for keeping runners safe each year FAQ’s Can I run/walk with a stroller? Baby joggers are allowed on both the 10k and 5k course, though we ask that participants remain to the rear of the pack at start and remain considerate of other participants. Regular strollers may be used for the 5k run/walk, but again we would ask that participants pushing strollers remain to the rear of the pack at start of the race. What does “USATF Sanctioning” mean? It means that organizers have followed a process with USA Track & Field that requires creation of a safety plan and purchase of outstanding insurance covering participants, volunteers, sponsors, partners and organizers of the event. It also means that your race results will be official for scoring purposes (assuming you track that sort of thing). What happens if the event is cancelled? Will I receive a refund? If the race is cancelled for reasons Organizers can control then we will work diligently to provide a refund or transfer of registration to another event. However, cancellation due to government regulations, extreme weather or local emergency is not controlled by organizers and is not reason for reimbursement. We WILL however, attempt to push start of the race back in 30-minute increments until the emergency dissipates and it is deemed safe to race. Please read Refund and Transfer Policy above.
