Organiser's description
Hey Radio 88.9 FM is looking forward to seeing YOU this August. We're kicking it up a notch and building on that energy and enthusiasm with the 14th Annual Hey 5K Run and 5K Walk. This race course will take you right through the downtown streets of the city of Muskegon with the start and finish at the Historical Union Train Depot now occupied by the Muskegon County Convention and Visitors Bureau. Leaving the depot, you'll be guided through the downtown streets on a flat and fast route that will take you right by Muskegon's new evolution. See artistic new sculptures like the incredible Muskegon Rising sculpture in the city's center surrounded by fresh new buildings like the Sidoc Building, The new Chamber of Commerce facility, and the Institute of Culinary Arts. Don't forget about all of the amazingly detailed historical architecture that went up during Muskegon's rich Lumber Baron era over a hundred years ago!
