Run for the GOLD 5K & Kids Run

Run for the GOLD 5K & Kids Run 5K charity event! All proceeds will go to phase 2 of Light Of The World Academy's new playground. The 5K Race is chip timed by Michigan Running Foundation.

The 5k starts in the Village of Pinckney’s Putnam Township Square (M-36, Pinckney, MI 48169), then traverses 3.1 miles through the historic Village
of Pinckney, rolling along beautiful country roads, across flat rail trail and swiftly finishing with a slight uphill on Main Street, where cheering
crowds (and maybe Leprechauns) await back at the Town Square. The Kid’s Run will be a fun run around the historic Town Square, which is
exactly ¼ mile.
