Forks 5K

Two branches of the Kalamazoo River coming together into one at the center of Albion and the river provides the perfect setting for Victory Park, one of Albion’s prized possessions. The Forks 5K coincides with Albion’s annual Festival of the Forks . Don’t just run on Friday night and skip town, instead, stay and enjoy wonderful food and music all day on Saturday during the Festival of the Forks. Your Registration Does More Than Secure Your Spot… When you register for a Run Albion event you are giving back to the Albion community. With the generous support of our sponsors, we are able to cover the cost of the entire series. Each registration fee is then used as a donation to a local nonprofit organization that provides course volunteers. In 2023 Run Albion donated over $3,000 across five different nonprofits. In fact, one donation made by Run Albion doubled the organizations operating budget for the entire year! 5K Run/Walk. The 5K is open to strollers and dogs.
