Get ready for the 8th Annual Bootjack Fun Run, a laid-back 9.06K event in Lake Linden, MI on Saturday, August 8th, 2026, where runners and walkers of all ages and abilities can move at their own pace—plus bring your leashed pup along for the fun! The scenic course winds through wooded, paved roads alongside beautiful Portage Lake, starting and ending at Dreamland Restaurant & Bar, with options including the full 9.06K, a shorter Mini906, and a kid-friendly 0.906K Supermini. All proceeds benefit the Bootjack First Responders, and this rain-or-shine event is dog-friendly for well-behaved canines on leashes.
