Welcome to the official Crim50 celebration. This milestone year marks 50 years of the Crim Festival of Races—and the impact it’s had on Flint and beyond. Planning is already underway, with exciting updates, special releases, and unique ways to be part of the celebration coming soon.
In 2027, we’ll come together to honor the community that made it possible, reflect on a powerful legacy, and celebrate everything the next 50 years can become.
Crim50 Publication & Crim Shout-Outs
Publication Pre-Order
In honor of the milestone year, the Foundation will be producing a commemorative Crim50 book. Books can be pre-ordered on this site or through 2027 race registrations. The book will feature articles and photos highlighting everything from original Crim runners, to Flint neighborhoods,
Crim Shout-Out
Participants, community members, and Crim friends can purchase a business-card size “Shout-Out” or tribute for $25. These shout-outs will appear in the Crim50 yearbook.
