2026 Calvin Classic 5K and Youth Fun Run

Race Information

Everyone can run! Runners and hand cyclists of all ages, young and old, and the fast and not-so-fast. The USATF certified 5K course runs through Calvin's scenic, relatively flat college campus. The 5K race will begin with the handcycle racers starting just before the runners, and walkers starting just behind the runners. This event supports the Calvin Alumni Association and allows them to continue to offer networking events, lifelong learning opportunities, and other resources to you as a Knight for life.
