 Join us for the race!
Family-friendly and great for runners or walkers, our fall (10/10/10) event is more than just a race - it's a celebration of the arts!
There are FOUR ways for you to get involved in this amazing event this October in Royal Oak!
REGISTER
Registration is open! The race is Sunday, October 10, at 10am at Starr Jaycee Park in Royal Oak (on 13 mile just east of Crooks). People of all ages - and groups of all sizes - can participate in a chip-timed run, or a fun run or walk. Register early for big discounts!
Chip-timed 5k Run
$25 before September 1, $35 thereafter.
Self-timed 5k Fun Run or Walk
$20 before September 1, $30 thereafter.
DO ART
Artists of all ages
are invited to submit proposals to perform or
install art! We are especially looking for
groups to
perform along the route and in the park, visual and interactive art in
the park, and creative awards to give to participants. Read the
participation guidelines and submit a proposal!
VOLUNTEER
Race-day volunteers will staff the water station, serve as course
marshalls, help with registration and check-in, and much more. Anyone high school age or older is
welcome. This is a great chance for school groups or scout troops to
perform a service to the community! Read about the opportunities, then contact Stacey to become a
volunteer.
RAISE FUNDS or DONATE
Whether you're a runner, a walker, an artist, an educator, a student or a
parent, you can be a fundraiser, too! Visit our Run for the Arts contribution page to begin. Once there, click on
"become a fundraiser" to set up your own personal page, with a photo, a
personal fundraising goal, and the opportunity to track your progress
and let people know how to sponsor you. You don't have to participate
in the 5k to collect sponsorships, but running or walking for a cause is
a great way to stay motivated and to inspire others!
