Event Description

Redeem Mi Run is the first fundraising event for the first Redeem Mi Land project. Whether you run the half marathon, or run/walk the 5k, come out and have fun! We will have a great time getting together, running, and being part of the land redemption project for Redeem Mi Land in Montague, Mi. 

Near the Start and Finish line you see the land itself that will be redeemed. On the surface, it looks fine...but below the surface is the remnants of an old civic dump, the refuse of a past generation simply covered over...like icing on a burnt cake. With the funds raised Redeem Mi Land will unearth this problem; sort and scrap and recycle all that can be, and remove that which can't into a proper landfill. Then, once the land has been cleaned of all that is holding it back, we will help to restore it to a natural wetland that can be enjoyed by people and animal alike.

Part of the philosophy of Redeem Mi Land is that in Michigan there are places that have had their beauty stolen from them. Forests and fields have been polluted, neglected, and abused. They were created with love and are worthy of their grandeur and dignity. When land is redeemed, it is rescued from the burdens it bears, and restored to what it longs to be…  

At Redeem Mi Land we believe that the love we show towards all creation helps to tell the story of the love that the Creator has shown for us. For more information on why Redeem Mi Land is taking on this project, visit www.redeemmiland.org
