Bauman's Charity Race

Run Flint Before the Crim One of the few remaining opportunities to race a true Flint road course before the big one in August. Join us on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, at Kettering University for the annual Bauman’s Charity Race. There are not many local races left that give runners and walkers the opportunity to experience the streets of Flint. This is your chance to race through Mott Park, touch portions of two historic Flint courses, and get one more quality effort in before the Crim Festival of Races. Whether you are preparing for the Crim, chasing a fast summer 5K, walking with friends and family, or supporting local road racing, this is your opportunity to Run Flint. Early Pricing Ends Wednesday, July 22 Register before prices increase and secure the best chance of receiving your race shirt on race day. A Classic Flint Road Course The 100% paved 5K course travels through the beautiful Mott Park residential neighborhood, around the park and golf course, and over portions of both the Crim and historic Old Tuuri courses. After touring one of Flint’s most recognizable running neighborhoods, participants will enjoy a great downhill finish and the opportunity to close fast.
