Organiser's description
OPEN TO DETROIT WALDORF SCHOOL STUDENTS, FAMILIES, AND FRIENDS, the second TEMAGAMI TROT 5K AND ONE MILE FUN RUN/WALK will be an opportunity for the DWS community to support the current 7th Grade Class in their fundraising efforts and and to get healthy for Spring 2023! This will be a low key event with a timed competitive option, it is primarily a fundraiser for the Seventh Grade and not a full-service race.
In 2006, Dr. Linda Williams brought her first class of Detroit Waldorf School https://www.detroitwaldorf.org students into the wilds of northern Canada for the first Temagami DWS class trip at Northwaters Camp https://northwaters.com, which has become an annual tradition at DWS providing a unique rite of passage wilderness experience and exceptional bonding for the rising eighth grade as they prepare for their final year together. With transportation costs, guide and expedition fees, and other expenses, the cost per student is more than $1000. We hope you will consider supporting Mr. Trombly's seventh grade class by coming out for this fun event!
PRICE DISCOUNTS WILL BE REFLECTED WHEN YOU SIGN UP (UNTIL MAY 5, AGE 1-10 ARE $15, AGE 11-17 $20, AGE 18 AND UP $25, AFTER MAY 5 PRICES GO UP $5, ($20/$25 RESPECTIVELY) AND RACE-DAY SIGNUPS WILL BE AN ADDITIONAL $10 $30/$35), SO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EARLY-BIRD PRICING!). THERE IS ALSO A FAMILY OPTION, UP TO 6 RUNNERS FOR $75 ($85)
THIS WILL BE A LOW-KEY 5K RACE THAT WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE DEQUINDRE CUT ON MAY 13, 2023, AT 9:00 A.M. THE DEQUINDRE CUT https://detroitriverfront.org/riverfront/dequindre-cut/dequindre-cut IS A SAFE AND BEAUTIFUL RUNNING PATH THAT FOLLOWS THE OLD GRAND TRUNK RAILROAD LINE FROM MACK AVE TO FRANKLIN STREET WITHOUT CROSSING ANY ROADS. THIS WILL BE A DOWN AND BACK TIMED COURSE, WITH AWARDS FOR WALDORF STUDENTS BASED ON THEIR CLASSES AS WELL AS AGE GROUP AWARDS FOR THE ADULTS. THERE WILL BE UNIQUE PRIZES (AND EVEN SOME TROPHIES!) FOR CATEGORY WINNERS. ALL PARTICIPANT COSTS, OTHER THAN THE CREDIT CARD PROCESSING FEES, WILL GO TO THE WALDORF CLASS OF 2024 TEMAGAMI FUNDRAISING EFFORTS. WE HOPE TO SEE YOU SUNDAY, MAY 13 FOR A FUN DAY TOGETHER, IN A BEAUTIFUL OUTDOOR SETTING.
