Join Us for the 7th, Nathan Syrek Memorial 5K Trail Run & 1 Mile Walk where Big Hearts Wear Pink!

If you have a big heart and some trail shoes then this inclusive non-chipped trail 5K (or 1 mile walk) is for you.  All ages and abilities will enjoy the run or stroll through through the beautiful apple orchards of Robinette’s (or cheer on others at the finish line).  Avid runners, lace up and join us too, we will award the top female and male finishers of the 5k!).

The Nathan Syrek Memorial 5K honors the legacy of Nathan Syrek, who passed into heaven at the age of 19 after a courageous battle with cancer. This annual charity event celebrates Nathan’s spirit of kindness and faith while raising funds to support a local family facing significant challenges. We are honored to walk alongside and support the Seewald family and to celebrate the beautiful life of Zoe.

Zoe tragically passed away in a car accident on August 12, 2025. She is lovingly remembered by her parents, Adam and Jamie, and her beloved sister and best friend, Bella. Zoe was a tough, strong-willed “wild child” who stood up for others and followed her own unwavering moral compass. Her faith was deeply important to her—she loved and trusted Jesus and proudly wore her pink WWJD bracelet every day. Zoe also had a deep love for the outdoors, making a 5K held in her honor a fitting tribute to her adventurous spirit and the bold life she lived.

Note: The 5K route winds through the orchard with varied terrain that may be soft or muddy—after all, it’s spring in Michigan! For those with strollers or wagons, we recommend the 1-mile walk, which follows a firmer, established path for a smoother experience.

Bring the whole family! Enjoy kids’ activities, explore an array of exciting raffle items.  Food also available. All proceeds benefit the Seewald family.

We hope your big heart will join us in your favorite shade of pink to celebrate Zoe & honor the sprit of Nathan.
