10th Annual Red Moon Trail Run presented by Bayne's Apple Valley

Dig Deep Race Events along with Bayne’s Apple Valley and Jolt Credit Union - and in collaboration with our friends at Runners Athletic Company, Runnin' Gear and Complete Runner - are inviting you to the 10th annual Red Moon Trail Run! The Race: Come out to Midland City Forest in Midland, MI – same site as the popular Snow Moon Trail Run - as runners embark on a 5k, 10k or 25k race along wide trails (not single track) marked by small LED lights as guides. Runners completing multiple laps will have split times as they pass through the 5k finish arch for each lap until they complete either their 10k or 25k events. A daytime 5K option is also available for those who’d like to see the course in the daylight. All participants will receive a professionally timed event with Red Moon Finisher Medals and (for those of legal age) a couple of adult Beverages. Online participant photos as runners pass through the finish arch will also be made available online and will be free of charge to participants for download and sharing. This year, a portion of the proceeds from this race will be donated to the Great Lakes Bay Veterans Coalition in their mission to help service members, veterans and their families in the Great Lakes Bay region. Date: August 29, 2026 Event Start Times*: Packet pickup will begin at 5PM on race day and will close at 9:00PM. Race Start Times: DAYTIME 5K - 6PM NIGHT TIME 25K - 8:15PM (NEW START TIME!) NIGHT TIME 10K - 8:45PM NIGHT TIME 5K - 9:15PM *We’ve had feedback about the 10K and 25K events starting before the 5K event and want all to know that this is being done so the 5K event can begin as close to nightfall as possible. The longer distances can begin earlier (during daylight hours) and still finish in the dark. The alternative would be to start the longer events at 9pm - which is WAY too late for many folks (a fact also obtained through feedback).
