Description
Come enjoy the beauty of summer racing in Southwest Michigan! Your whole family can participate on this Sunday morning of running, food, music, and fun! This race is sponsored by Berrien.Life, and proceeds from this race will go to our partner, Emergency Shelter Services. If you would like to know more about them or donate, check out the donate tab at the top!
In addition to an exciting run through the heart of old-fashioned, all-American Berrien Springs, we'll also be hosting a Family Fun Fest at the recently-constructed Sylvester Stadium - including activities for all ages. Be ready for food trucks, emergency vehicle tours, inflatables, sports and game challenges, freebies, and great opportunities to connect with friends and neighbors.*
Registration in one of the races above will land you a t-shirt (plus some other goodies) - but even if you join us day-of, we'd love to have you run and enjoy the morning with us.
NON-RUNNERS - you're welcome as well! Come to cheer on the racers, relax at the Sylvester Stadium, participate in community festivities, and enjoy what we hope will be a sunny and comfortable morning.
*No sign-up necessary to participate in the Family Fun Fest. Just come on over and join us from 10:30-1:00.
