12th Annual Run Forrest Run benefiting Bellwether Harbor.
Join us to run, walk or shop for a great cause
This year’s Run Forrest Run will be a timed 5K run on the Trails of Branstrom Park or a 1 Mile Fun Walk on the paved pathways of the park. We encourage you to involve your whole family, even the 4 legged members!
The 5K will follow the Fremont Cross Country course. Are you a past cross country runner? Want to see if you can still tackle the course with the same gusto? Are you curious what the current students talk about as being a hard course or would you like to enjoy the morning in one of the most beautiful spots in West Michigan? Then Run Forrest Run is the race for you. Not only will you be helping the animals at Bellwether Harbor but you will have a blast doing it!
Our Silent Auction and Bake Sale will be held in the Lodge at Branstrom Park. You will be able to bid on some awesome items before the race and take them home when you are finished

Race and Walk Rules
No retractable leashes. These leads don't allow you to control your dog well enough for a crowded situation like a race.
No leashes longer than 6 feet. You'll need to keep your pet as close to you as possible to avoid potential conflicts with other dogs.
No unfixed animals.
All dogs should be comfortable around large groups of people and other dogs.
All dogs must be current on vaccinations and have current dog licenses. Be prepared to show proof at Packet Pick Up.
Owners are responsible for cleaning up any presents your dog may leave behind.
