Event Description

Lift your Feet and Run to the Beat! Join us as the only run in the urban community of Grand Rapids. We don't just run...we celebrate with music, porch shout-outs from community and a fun fair! This year we will continue our 20th year celebration in celebration with the community.

This fun, rhythm-filled and lighthearted event starts at 8:00 a.m., August 20th, 2022, beginning at Martin Luther King Jr. Park. Activities will run from 8am to 2pm and will include a Kid’s Fun Run, food, refreshment, live entertainment, FREE raffles and prizes, games and more. FREE backpack giveaway to all kids that come (while supplies last - 1 per child) will begin after the races are over.

Your participation fee covers not only the run, but helps to support GRAAHI's mission of  promoting health care parity in the Grand Rapids African American community through advocacy, education and research to achieve positive health outcomes.
