Event summary

Join us for a heartwarming community event, "All Aboard the Grady Train - Rich Grady Run," on Saturday, December 21, 2024, in Battle Creek, Calhoun. This non-formal run/walk is dedicated to honoring the inspiring legacy of Rich Grady, a remarkable athlete who maintained a streak of running at least one mile for nearly 16 years. Sadly, Rich's streak ended after 5,813 days due to a brain cancer diagnosis, and this event aims to support him and his family during this challenging time.

Participants will gather at Riverside Park, where you can choose to stay at the park, explore the scenic routes around Riverside, or venture out into the community on one of Rich's favorite paths. Everyone is welcome to join in this celebration of resilience and community spirit. A minimum donation of $20 is requested, but any contribution is greatly appreciated. Donโ€™t miss the chance to purchase a commemorative "All Aboard the Grady Train" t-shirt as well. Let's come together to support the Grady family and celebrate Rich's incredible journey!
