Finish Liza's Run - Northern Michigan - 2024

On September 2, 2022, at 4:20 a.m., Eliza Fletcher was abducted and murdered in Memphis during her morning run. Eliza was a teacher, mother-of-two and businesswoman who started her day doing something she loved, going for a run. Our hearts are with Eliza Fletcher and her family. Women (and men) deserve to run without fear and at any time. On Friday, August 30th at 6:30 am, we will be running in her memory to spread awareness. We will meet between 6-6:20, with short remarks at 6:20, and will begin promptly at 6:30! We welcome all runners/walkers, and there is no cost and you don't need to register to participate. Runners: 8.2 mile loop / Walkers: 2.8 mile loop Lucy Loveless is the point person for this run. Please reach out to her via cell 901-340-9009 or via email [email protected] with any questions.
