2027 Big House 5K Beneficiary Application

The following form is for non-profit organizations to apply for a beneficiary position for the 2027 Michigan Athletics Big House 5K run/walk to be held in April 2027.

Each year we select six local, non-profit organizations to serve as the charitable beneficiaries for our Big House 5K. We work with our colleagues on campus and look to our Athletic Department service pillars to identify the areas of immediate need in our community, then we select beneficiaries that address these needs.

Applications for the 2027 Race are due by 5pm on September 15, 2026. The 2027 Race date will be announced in December 2026.

We look forward to partnering with local beneficiaries and providing a platform to raise awareness and funds toward their cause.

If you have any questions about the application process, please email bighouse5k@umich.edu.
