All proceeds and donations from the event this year will support the PTA and the amazing events they host for our students and families. We are not asking students to fundraiser. If you would like to make a donation during registration that is an option. 

The proceeds from this event will first cover our costs and then the balance will support the PTA. 

Please park at Amerman and/or in the adjoining neighborhood. A portion of the back parking lot will be closed off for the event. You may also park at Hillside and take the pedestrian bridge across 8 mile and down the sidewalk to the school.

There are no awards for this event as it's a non-timed family fun run. 

We kindly ask that everyone registers for the event. We've kept the entry fee low, enough to cover our costs and provide $5 to the PTA. 

Not this year. We are doing a family fun run. The Michigan Running Foundation will be on hand to make sure have an awesome run event, however there will not be official race times this year. 

Yes, we ask that you line up in the back at the start of the event.

While we love all of these activities, we are limiting this event to running and walking only. The bike you'll see on the course is a course volunteer. 

No. We love our furry friends, however they are not allowed at this event. It's for their safety and the safety of our participants. 

Sure, there's nothing like some good tunes while you run. We just ask that you can still hear and are aware of your surroundings.

No, the school will not be open during the event, as such we do not have access to the restrooms.  Please plan accordingly. 

Congrats and YES, all ages and abilities are welcome. This is a casual family fun run, walk, skip, stroll event. We're excited to have you!

We recommend picking up your race kit during early packet pick up if you are able to. Plan on arriving on race day morning about a 1/2 hour prior to the start to park, get your race kit  (if you did not pick it up at early packet pick up), and get warmed up. Prior to the race the announcer will call everyone up to the start line. The speedy racers will line up at the front, everyone else lines up behind them. If you are running with a stroller we ask that you line up at the back. The race will start and off you go! There are plenty of other participants and course support to guide you along the way. Refreshments will be available after the finish.  Lastly and most importantly HAVE FUN! You will love the energy from the race!

 We recommend starting out a little cold, you'll warm up quickly if you are walking or running.  If it's chilly a hat and gloves is always a good idea, and an outer layer that you can tie around your waist if you warm up. Lightweight breathable fabrics are best. Avoid 100% cotton as it absorbs moisture and will make you cold quickly. Dress for the weather and remember to wear your color run shirt as your outer layer! 

The event will be held rain or shine, or snow, ;), however if there are storms the morning of the event or forecasted during the event we will monitor and communicate any delays to participants via email and post on the Amerman PTA Facebook page. In the event of lightning, the event will be delayed a half hour until from the last lighting strike until we are 30 minutes without a lightning strike. Participants will be asked to remain in their vehicles during this time.  We will evaluate on race day if the race needs to be delayed or cancelled due to weather. 

This event will be held rain or shine, there are no refunds for this event. As you can imagine there is a lot of planning that goes into an event and costs associated with the event. T-shirts, awards, refreshments, etc. all have to be ordered ahead of time. If the race is cancelled for any reason, including weather, we will be unable to offer refunds, or if your plans change and you already signed up we are unable to offer refunds.
