Description

I Move for Hal became an official non profit organization in 2015. The purpose of our 501c3 is to raise awareness about Multiple Sclerosis and raise funds for a scholarship for a local St. Johns High School Senior and National MS Society-Michigan Chapter. One move at a time in memory of a great man, Hal Rice. Hoping one day there will be a cure for this horrible disease.

Stay Safe Race Procedures in place: We've put full procedures in place to ensure this is a SAFE event for you the participant, and all of our volunteers.  The biggest change this year is our flexible start time from 8:00 to 9:00 am. No more than 5 participants will start at a time with spacing in between each group. This will allow ample social distancing at the start of the race, along the course, and at the finish line. The race is chipped timed with results and awards. 

We have a FULL stay safe race plan in place, see below for all the details.  

If you are unable to join us in person, or prefer to run on your own while still supporting our cause, please see our virtual option. Details listed above on the Virtual Race Info tab.
