Welcome to the official Crim50 Site! 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, so be sure to check back here often.
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 our milestone year, the Foundation will be producing a commemorative Crim50 book. You can pre-order your book right here on this site and also through 2027 race registrations. The book will feature articles and photos highlighting everything from original Crim runners to Flint neighborhoods to the Crim Adult Training Program, individual ‘Shout-Outs’ and more.
Coming Soon
Crim Shout-Out
Participants, community members, and Crim friends can purchase a business-card size “Shout-Out” or tribute that will appear in the Crim50 yearbook for $25. Honor a favorite runner or walker, tell us why you love Crim, or celebrate yourself! The deadline to purchase a Shout-Out for publication in the Crim50 book is December 31, 2026.
Crim Shout-Out + A FOOT OF THE BLUE LINE
Dedicate a Foot of the Crim’s Blue Line alongside your Shout-Out for an additional $100. The dedicated foot will appear in the shout-out box in the Crim50 yearbook, and the $100 gift goes directly to support the Crim Endowment. Gift your favorite runner or walker a forever-foot of the historic Crim course and help sustain the next 50 years of the Crim!
