You have questions, we have answers. If anything is not answered below please contact by using the contact form on the main race page.
Where do the proceeds go? Our charity partner this year is the Livonia Save our Youth Coalition. They are a coalition of local parents, teens, educators, health care workers, law enforcement, the faith community and substance abuse professionals. We’re all here for different reasons but with a shared mission to educate and empower the community regarding the health and safety of our young people with a focus on alcohol and other drugs.

Are Dogs Allowed?
No. For the safety of the participants and the dogs we ask that you not bring your dog.
Can I wear headphones? 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.
This is my first 5k run/walk, what should I expect? Congrats, we're excited to have you! We recommend going to early packet pickup on Saturday to receive your bib (race number) and t-shirt. Race day morning arrive to the race about 1 hour to park and get warmed up. Wear the bib (your race number) on the outermost layer on your torso, we provide safety pins to pin it to your shirt. Pin in all four corners so the number doesn't flap when you're running/walking. You do not need to check in on race day morning if you pick up your packet on Saturday. 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 files in 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. Once you finish you'll receive your finishers medal. Refreshments will be available as well. We'll text you your results, and we'll also have a QR code for you to scan to pull up your results. Lastly and most importantly HAVE FUN! You'll love the energy from the race!
Are there refunds? This event will be held rain or shine, there are no refunds for this event. As you can image there is a lot of planning that goes into an event and t-shirts, medals, etc. all have to be ordered ahead of time. If the race is cancelled for any reason we will be unable to offer refunds, or if your plans change and you already signed up we are unable to offer refunds.
