Girls on the Run/Girls on Track celebrates with 5K run

The annual Girls on the Run/Girls on Track New Balance 5K will be held May 19 at the Grand Haven Public High School, 17001 Ferris Street at 10:30 am.

The participating girls will run at the high school and through area neighborhoods to culminate a ten week after school program that builds self esteem, confidence and promotes healthy lifestyles. Approximately 850 girls and their coaches will create a wave of pink in their colorful shirts as they run, walk and in some cases push participants in wheelchairs.

The public is invited to come and cheer for the girls along the route. Community members are also invited to participate in the 5K to show support for the girls. See www.gotroac.org for information about participation as a community runner and to register.

Berlin Template Super Late Models return to the Kalamazoo Klash

From: http://www.berlinraceway.com

Marne, MI -- The Berlin Template Super Late Models will be invading the Kalamazoo Speedway once again to take part in the Kalamazoo Klash XX.

The Kalamazoo Klash, which will be celebrating its 20th year, is a 200-lap Outlaw Late Model race that pays $10,000 to win and is one of the most anticipated racing events of the summer. While trying to provide a support division to make the event extra-special, last year the Template Late Models made their debut at the Kalamazoo Klash XIX with a 75-lap race that was won by Johnny Benson.
