Reeds Lake Run
Saturday, June 27, 2020 ~ 8:00 a.m.
Race has been
cancelled
for 2020 due to COVID-19
Due to the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and its timeline and restrictions on large group gatherings, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Reeds Lake Run, which was scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 27.
Please know this decision was not made lightly. However, following national, state and local directives and guidelines, we cannot safely or under good conscious place a group of 2,000+ people in such close proximity while our world recovers from and tries to understand the long-term consequences of this pandemic, regardless of when the Stay Home, Stay Safe executive order is lifted.
As much as we were looking forward to race day, keeping our run family and community safe, healthy and well now is our top priority and what will allow us to hold future races.
The Reeds Lake Run has become not only a premier West Michigan Race, but a community-favorite tradition of 42 years and counting. We are incredibly grateful for everyone in our race family including our sponsors, service providers, community partners, participants, volunteers and the entire East Grand Rapids community. It is because of all of our supporters that the Reeds Lake Run has been so beloved and successful for so long.
Participants will be refunded in full via our registration software. Please note that it may take up to two weeks for this refund to be processed. If you do not receive it within two weeks, contact us directly.
While we are disappointed it’s come to this, we are filled with a renewed spirit to make next year’s race memorable. We look forward to hosting the 2021 Reeds Lake Run, which is scheduled for Saturday, June 26.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to Betsy Granstra at bgranstra@eastgr.org with any questions or concerns you have regarding this decision.
Join us for the 42nd Annual Reeds Lake Run. You can run or walk a 5K, run a 10K and even run or walk a 5K with your dog. All runners and walkers will receive a moisture wicking race shirt.
