Twelfth Annual Anchor Bay Rotary

Fun Run/Walk

Once again, this year, the Anchor Bay Rotary will sponsor a 5K Fun Run on Saturday, June 24, 2023, in conjunction with the Bay Rama Fishfly Festival. Although Michigan is still experiencing Covid cases, we will continue our Saturday morning running event with great caution.

Potential June 24 Race 5K Participant Information -

We are working with Bay-Rama and are in the final stages for this year’s 5K Race/Walk. Registration forms for the event will be made available, here, as soon as the schedule for the Festival and our event are finalized.

Just a reminder that participants in the Fun Run will need to know:

All Registrations received will receive a Race Bib and T-Shirt. However, if the Registration is received after June 1, we will not be able to guarantee a T-Shirt in the appropriate size. We will do our best.
Timing is included for all participants.
With possible issues regarding Covid-19, please watch here for more information as we get closer to Race Day.
Awards will be made to the Overall Finishers, both Male and Female. There will also be Awards to finishers, Male and Female, in age categories. Please see the Registration Application (when posted) for more information.
In addition, participants 21 years of age or older on race day will receive one complimentary beer in the festival tent following the race. Please be sure to bring your ID to registration on race day. No exceptions!

However, in keeping with continuing Covid-19 protocols, all participants also need to know that for this event:

All runners should wear a mask when not racing, but this is NOT required,
We will begin the race with a "staggered start" rather than the group start that we have used in the past. Participants will start the race separated by 6-feet for social distancing at the start line. We do understand that it is difficult, if not impossible, to maintain a 6-foot distance between participants once the race starts, but we will encourage all participants to be sensitive to social distancing requirements.
Lastly, this year, we will be presenting medals and awards at the end of the race.

In addition, we are always looking for local sponsors for this event. If you are able and interested in helping sponsor this event, we have created two categories --- T-Shirt Sponsor and Event Sponsor. If you are interested, please contact us.

Sponsor Applications are available NOW. Please CLICK HERE to download a 2023 Sponsor Registration Form when available.

Funds raised through this event support various local and international activities of Rotary International. In addition, our primary goal is to provide a scholarship to a student of the graduating class of Anchor Bay High School and New Haven High School to defray the costs of their education after graduation.
