The Glenn Square

08/02/2026

🎄 Registration Is Now Open! 🎄

Greetings, Runners and Walkers!

The holiday season is just around the corner, and we can't wait to celebrate with you! Dust off your Santa hat, pull on your favorite ugly sweater, or dress in your merriest holiday attire and join us for the 8th Annual Dashing Through Glenn 5K Fun Run!

Experience the charm of Glenn as you run or walk through our beautifully decorated hometown. From November through mid-January, Glenn transforms into a winter wonderland with sparkling white lights, festive garlands, and beautifully trimmed trees that make every step feel magical.

This event is about more than holiday fun, it's about giving back. Proceeds from the race help maintain and enhance The Glenn Square, the heart of our community and a gathering place enjoyed year-round. Nestled in downtown Glenn, affectionately known as "The Pancake Town," The Glenn Square is where neighbors and visitors come together to celebrate every season.

Whether you're a seasoned runner, a casual walker, or simply looking for a festive family tradition, everyone is welcome!

Register today and kick off the holidays with us! We can't wait to see you at the starting line!!!!

The Dashing Through Glenn Holiday Fun Run is on Friday November 27, 2026.

For those joining us today, thank you for participating in our annual Dashing Through Glenn Fun Run, supporting The Glenn Square! What a wonderful way to start the day—running through our quaint town, taking in the beautiful view of Lake Michigan, visiting with Santa, and finishing with a delicious pancake breakfast in a town known as “The Pancake Town.”

A special thank-you goes out to the The Glenn Community Center, whose continued support makes events like this possible. We’re grateful for all they do for our community! And a big thank-you to the Ganges Township Fire Department for their support and dedication to keeping our community safe.

We also want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to all of our incredible volunteers—those flipping pancakes, eggs, sausages, brewing coffee, setting up tables, and working hard behind the scenes to make everything run smoothly. This event simply wouldn’t happen without you!

We’ve gathered some great moments from today’s event. You can find those photos in the link below. If you have any photos from today, please don't forget to tag The Glenn Square.

Mark your calendar for Friday, November 27, 2026, and join us once again for our Run, Pancakes, and Santa—and rumor has it Mrs. Claus may be joining us as well! And don’t forget to invite your friends to join in on the fun next year!

Have a safe and healthy holiday season!
