Due to popular interest and the opportunity to support our community hospital and Evergreen Living Center wherever you may be, Mackinac Straits Health Foundation is offering an in-person AND a virtual run/walk. Those who love participating with fellow runners and walkers can do so at our regular location on the Mackinac Straits Health System campus in St. Ignace, MI. Those who would prefer to participate virtually can do so from any location. It could be your backyard, a nearby trail, on your treadmill inside your home, or even from another state!



Are you ready? First National Bank of St. Ignace is our presenting sponsor. Lets have some fun moving in memory of Moie Brown, a hospital and community supporter, and help out a great cause! Be sure to share your results on our Facebook page, as well as all your social media profiles and hashtag #stignacemoveforthehealthofit so we can share your achievements! All proceeds from the 2025 Move for the Health of It will be used to benefit Mackinac Straits Health System and Evergreen Living Center.

State St. and loop around the hospital/Evergreen Living Center to the finish line. 10K runners will turn right on N. State St. from S. Airport Rd. and run to Reagon St and then on to Lemotte St, which will turn into Cheeseman Rd.
