DeWitt Take a Breath for PH and Get Moving For MS - DeWitt, MIchigan - Running

The DeWitt Take a Breath for PH and Get Moving For MS is a Running race in DeWitt, MIchigan consisting of a Half Marathon and Kids Run/Fun Run and 10K and 5K.

A running event (5K / 10K / Half Marathon / Kids 1/4 mile run) to raise money and awareness for Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) and Multiple Sclerosis (MS). This is an open course. Racers will be sharing the road with vehicular traffic. Use caution at all times. It will be the athlete's responsibility to print maps, and know the courses. MP3 players on the course are not recommended so racers can hear vehicles and on-course directions. All racers and spectators MUST obey all officials and emergency vehicles on the course at all times.

Each course will be marked on the left side of the street (going against traffic), with the following exceptions: Clark Rd, Schavey Road going north, and Herbison Road. Runners should stay on the left side of the road except in those areas. Sidewalks will be utilized during portions of the 10K and Half-Marathon course.

Starting lines will be outside of the track (the Kids 1/4 Mile Run will be entirely on the track as noted above). The Half-Marathon, 10K and 5K races will start from the same place, just outside the main gate of the football stadium. The Half-Marathon and 10K will head south toward the high school while the 5K will head north towards Herbison Rd.

For all races, there is a gravel path at the corner of W. Geneva Dr. and Riverview Dr. (near the water station at mile 4.5/2) that runs for approximately 100m. Please use caution on this path, as the gravel may shift, and it is on an uphill grade.

The Half-Marathon has a stretch of approximately 800m of dirt road on Norris Road (around mile 10), beginning at the turn at Cutler Road. Use caution, watching for stones and potholes.

The Kids 1/4 Mile Run will start and finish on the DeWitt High School track. The route will be one lap of the track, finishing at the same finish line as the other races. All kids will receive a finisher medal. Adults are welcome to walk/run with the kids, or carry them as needed.
