618 W Silver Lake Road

Linden, MI 48451

We have many items on silent auction in the terminal building as you pick up your packets. There is a gas grill from Home Depot, Sunglasses from Linden Family Eye Care, memberships to the U of M Flint Recreation Center center, and Ascension Genesys Health Club.

The free 1 mile walk/run will begins at 8pm. Please stop by the packet pickup location and grab a 1 mile bib. The 5K will start at 9pm. Snacks from Crust, and Uncle Rays Ice Cream will be available at the finish line. This year we will have volunteers making sure only participants get them so all of our paid participants have a chance to enjoy them. Also look for finisher awards to be handed out at the finish line. Anticipating a large crowd, we made a large order this year. A short awards ceremony will start around 9:30pm for the overall and age group awards.

We have experienced a lot of rain which has compromised our usual parking area on the grass. We will be primarily parking on the main ramp of the airport. As you enter the airport property look for volunteers to guide you to the parking entrance which is to the left of the terminal building. Volunteers will guide you to park in rows lengthwise on the ramp. In the event the ramp becomes full we have contingency plans to utilize parts of the grass area that remains dry. Handicap parking is also available. If you would like to utilize the handicap area and have a handicap parking plate or tag, please let a parking volunteer know and they will will let you through the gate located to the right of the terminal building to access the handicap area.

We are always looking for race Volunteers! If you know anyone who might be interested they can contact me at:

Volunteers will be needed from 5pm until around 10pm and will be fed Beale Street BBQ before we get to work!

Finally, as I stated earlier we are experiencing our biggest year yet. This combined with the comprised parking area in the grass, we will have a very congested parking area. If you are participating with friends or family we ask that you consider carpooling.

Thank you,

Your race directors:
