Fostering Fun Squirt Gun 5K Run
A fun, family-friendly 5K supporting Michigan foster families.
Our Squirt Gun Run is unlike any other 5K in Michigan. Every participant gets a t-shirt and a squirt gun—and yes, you’ll use it.
The course includes refill stations and surprise splash zones along the way, making this a fun, relaxed experience for all ages.
This is a non-competitive run—no chip timing, no place awards—just a great night with friends, music, and plenty of laughs before and after the race.
What to Expect
A relaxed, non-competitive 5K (walk, run, or chase your kids)
Water squirt stations and surprise splash zones along the course
Music, community, and fun before and after the race
A family-friendly environment—strollers welcome
