Thank you to all that participated in Saturday's race on Belle Isle!

Cool Runnings Until Then,
The Crew
Every event registration, every dollar you fundraise, helps Ronald McDonald House Charities Detroit!
RMHC provides a home away from home for families while their child is hospitalized. The pandemic has been difficult for everyone, but especially for families with a hospitalized child. For a sick kid, there's nothing better than the comfort of having Mom and Dad at their side. For Mom and Dad, there is comfort, support, and a place to call home when they have to travel for their critically ill or injured child to receive medical care.
Stay well and Cool Runnings! ~ Jenna, Race Director, and Crew
