Salmon Scramble 5k

🏃‍♂️ Race Overview

Get ready to "scramble" through Buchanan for the Salmon Scramble 5k! This fun and scenic race will take you along McCoy Creek, a key part of the annual Salmon Run that sees these amazing fish migrate from Lake Michigan to spawn. Experience the beautiful natural surroundings of Buchanan's own McCoy Creek Trail and maybe even catch a glimpse of the migrating salmon as you run or walk your way to the finish line. This is a non-timed event and there will be no awards for our first run. For every person that registers, there will be a special registration commemorative award for our first year's race to go along with some swag. Join in the excitement and support this local event!
