Build my planFitness Coliseum and Foster Coffee Co are partnering up again to bring together our favorite things, Coffee & Fitness and Fall!
Presented By CLH Insurance Agency & Auto Owners
5k participants will start at Fitness Coliseum and run a 5k loop along the beautiful Shiawassee River Trail. Would you rather WALK for coffee? That works for us too! Grab your fill up before you head out if you chose and walk our shorter, 1.5mile loop! Open to kiddos, dogs & strollers!
Participants will all receive a long sleeve t-shirt, a coffee mug and a full cup of coffee or $1 of a specialty drink from Foster Coffee Co's mobile bar!
Stay a while: We have tables, chairs, bon fires and games set up so you can enjoy the fall weather and your drink post race!
