Location: Midland, Michigan
Come run like the Timberwolves in our second annual Alumni and Friends 5k Race/Walk!
If a visit to Midland is on your list, this Fall will be one of the very best times to do it! Come walk or race with us along some of our team's favorite training routes, see all the leaves changing in "The Wood," and visit with current team members, staff, and alumni. The weekend will also feature our Northwood Football team playing a home game against conference competitors, Ashland University at 12pm on Saturday. We would be honored to have you participate!
Do I Have to Run?
We have had plenty of supporters and family members who walk/push strollers on the route, as well as alumni and athletes who run. Whichever is your cup of tea, we will be there to cheer you on! The race is about half paved, and half gravel road.
