Description

Winding through a beautiful Ann Arbor neighborhood near the University of Michigan campus, the tree-lined Burns Park Run loop course has been a favorite of beginner and world-class runners alike.

The Burns Park Run will be held on Sunday, May 5th, 2024.  It is a long-standing and successful fundraiser, organized and run by volunteers, that supports Burns Park Elementary PTO programs.  We are excited to celebrate our 46th anniversary this year. 

Known for its family-friendly atmosphere, the Burns Park Run 5K and 10K races annually draw 1,000 to 1,500 runners aged 5 to 90 years, with over 200 elementary school kids running the 5K.  For the youngest of participants, there is a separate 1/2 mile Fun Run around the park.

ALL FINISHERS of the timed events: 5K (Run and Walk) and 10K will receive a finisher medal at the Burns Park Run.   Additional awards will be recognized at the awards ceremony which will take place after the Fun Run at approximately 10am.  Awards will be recognized for the following categories:

  • Top Male, Female and Non-Binary for Top Overall, Masters and Grand Masters winner of the 5K and 10K Run
  • Top Male, Female and Non-Binary for Top Winner for each Adult Age Group Division of the 5K and 10K Run
  • 1st, 2nd and 3rd place Male, Female and Non-Binary for each Youth Age Division (5 and under through 17 years old) of the 5K and 10K Run

Race T-Shirts - Shirts are OPTIONAL and can be purchased when registering or through the event store on the Run Sign Up website.  

The Burns Park Run was started by the PTO as a fundraiser for 6th grade campers in 1979. This Burns Park Elementary fundraiser has grown and symbiotically supported the activities  offered by our PTO to its students and their families. Today’s race is headed by volunteer race directors and ~100 volunteers working throughout the year on planning, funding, marketing and staffing the Burns Park Run.
