Hosted at the picturesque Grand Valley State University (GVSU) Allendale Campus, this 3.1-mile race welcomes participants of all abilities to walk, roll, jog, or wheel through a course known for its beautiful scenery. The start and finish lines are conveniently located just outside the Kirkhof Center, creating a central hub for race day excitement.
