Courses de 5K près de Delhi Charter Township

Le Orthopaedic Rehab Specialists Oktoberfest 10K/5K and Kids Superhero Run, c'est une journée de courses d'automne qui a lieu à Consumer's Plaza, dans le centre-ville de Jackson, Michigan. Le départ et l'arrivée sont devant l'ancienne poste, qui est maintenant le siège de Consumers Energy. Pour les adultes, tu as un 10K course, un 5K course, ou un 5K marche, et les gamins de 10 ans et moins peuvent participer au Kids Superhero Run. Le parcours a été pensé avec les meilleurs tronçons des courses passées, et le chronométrage est fait par des pros de la Michigan Running Foundation. La course des enfants joue à fond la carte des super-héros : ils encouragent les déguisements et ils leur donnent un goodie bag, un porte-clés médaille de finisher, et une boule de glace gratuite de chez RJ's Burgers & Ice Cream. Ceux qui font le 5K et le 10K, eux, reçoivent un t-shirt, une médaille de finisher, et un bon de 10$ pour les commerces du centre-ville de Jackson. Cette course fait partie de la ORS Race Series, sponsorisée par Orthopaedic Rehab Specialists, et les bénéfices vont au Greater Jackson Habitat for Humanity Garrett Family Fundraiser.

The Woldumar Trail Run is an annual early-morning trail event at Woldumar Nature Center in Delta Township, Michigan.

The event is the nature center’s largest fundraiser of the year, attracting about 250 participants. It originated from an idea by members and volunteers. The field now includes adults on the main trail routes and younger runners in the Delta Dental Muskrat Mile, a one-mile course designed for aspiring athletes.
