10K
The 10K route will be a fast well marked out and back 10K with a small loop at the top turn around of the course. This race breaks away from the 5K at about 1.5 miles. This will be a great course for those looking to get their 10K PR this spring.
5K
This will be a fun 5K route meandering through the north neighborhoods if Wixom. With a few small hills this course will not over challenge, but will have a little bit of up and down to the course. Finish quick, and enjoy watching the Tot Trot and visiting with Camp Casey’s therapeutic Horse.”
