Running to Live United
On October 18, more than 19,000 runners participated in the 32nd annual Detroit Free Press/Flagstar Marathon. Among those runners, nearly 30 demonstrated the Live United spirit by running on behalf of United Way. In addition, another 35 volunteers supplied plenty of spirit at cheer stations along the route.
For the first year United Way was a charity partner in the marathon, allowing individuals and teams to run and fundraise on our behalf. As our runners trained hard for the half marathon, full marathon or 5K events, they also worked to raise over $1,600 to support our work in education, income and basic needs.
Photos from the day can be found here. We are already planning next year’s marathon festivities. It’s never too early to start training. If you’d like to Live United at the 2010 Detroit marathon on October 17, click here and sign up!
