Meals On Wheels Western Michigan March for Meals

Meals on Wheels Western Michigan's 5th Annual March for Meals Community Walk & 5k is a family-friendly event for people of all ages and abilities to come together and support the health and independence of older adults in Western Michigan. The walk is a 2-mile loop and the 5K run is on that same loop, just extending a bit farther into the park. New this year: the price of the walk is the same as the run, and includes a shirt and race medal. You may opt out of a race shirt for a $10 discount.

Packet pickup and festivities will begin at 9:00 am at Grant Pavilion, with a brief welcome at 10:00 am, and the walk and race taking off at 10:15 am. An awards ceremony will be held immediately after the race. An alternative packet pickup is also available on the Friday before the race at Meals on Wheels Western Michigan in Grandville from 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm. The price of the 2-mile walk is the same as the 5K run this year, and both include a race medal and shirt. The early bird price starts at $35 and will increase to $40 on February 14th and $45 on race day. Kids ages 0-7 are free (no need to register them). You may opt out of a race shirt for $10 off, just select the no shirt option when registering. For those of you who love competition, we've got some great prizes in store for our 5K overall and age-group winners. We are also challenging you to come dressed as a food item and will be awarding prizes to the best-dressed adult, kiddo, and doggo participants. We will also have prizes for the youngest and oldest runners! This event is rain, snow, or shine! So be sure to dress for the weather. Can't make it in person? Join us from afar, wherever you are, with the virtual race option! For $35, we will send you a race packet including a t-shirt. Map out your own 2-mile walk or 5k
